'Some of these patients are at a higher risk of pre-term delivery, among other pregnancy complications, when they have COVID in pregnancy,' Dr. Jane Martin said.
Dr. Jane Martin calls her decision to get vaccinated against COVID-19 while pregnant an"easy" one after she treated other expecting mothers in the intensive care unit for coronavirus during the pandemic.
"There was also a report published by the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] in November that showed that pregnant women are at a much higher risk of being admitted to the hospital, being intubated, being put in the ICU and, unfortunately, dying from COVID when compared to non-pregnant women who are the same age," she added."That information really helped me make my decision.
"We've had many patients admitted to the hospital requiring supplemental oxygen. We've had many patients in the ICU and, unfortunately, many patients that have been intubated and have required mechanical ventilation for a long period of time," she toldShe explained that needing those types of care not only affect expecting moms, but it could also potentially have an impact on their unborn babies.
New studies are indicating that expecting moms who get vaccinated can pass on the protective antibodies to their new babies through the placenta as well as breast milk.
