Abstract
The risk of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) to maternal and newborn health has yet to be determined. Several studies showed that pregnancy with gestational diabetes increased the risk of maternal illness, but cases of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and preterm birth have been reported rarely. Reports indicated placental infection and vertical transmission of COVID-19 were uncommon. Interestingly, despite the lack of SARS-CoV-2 placental infection, there were many records of major abnormalities in placental morphology. Continued research into offsprings of pregnant women with gestational diabetes infected with SARS-CoV-2 was vitally necessary. This study showed the impact of COVID infections on the fetus and the newborn in GDM pregnancy. There were very few data considering this subject and therefore, the findings have nowadays very debatable value. However, it’s worthwhile to show the scientific community that nowadays we have no proof that COVID infection has a significant impact on pregnancy and the fetus.
