Kick6, I work in the NICU and we have been seeing more cases of Mother's coming in with difficulty breathing. Lately, the moms that have been coming in due to complications with Covid have been getting younger. By younger I mean the baby's gestational age. The past few weeks we've been getting 25 week old moms in triage and we've had to do stat c-sections. The babies being 25 weeks old are obviously having issues with their lungs not fully developed and the moms have been so sick that they are getting placed on ECMO.
My question is: how has COVID affected the pregnant population in your area and is this yet another area we need to gather more information on and start to trend?
