If I have Covid, do my unborn baby have it also? Will he get sick in my stomach?

Question

I’m getting tested tomorrow but I want to be sure my baby is going to be okay!

Answer

It’s too soon to have any long term data yet on the safety and side effects on babies born to mothers who have had Covid-19 while pregnant, but the short term studies are promising and most babies are born completely unaffected and healthy. Some mothers even pass antibodies to their unborn babies, especially if they’re in the third trimester.

Yes there is at least one documented case

Answer

From what I have seen and heard no. It’s mostly complication for the mother and pre term labor in some cases. But most don’t have any problem or have mild symptoms.
