Restrospective: Pregnancy Outcomes Who Have Been Exposed Covid 19

Abstract

Covid-19 is a highly contagious disease, including pregnant women during the pandemic. This has an impact on pregnant women and the outcome of newborns, especially for pregnant women who have been exposed to Covid-19. This study aims to determine the characteristics of mothers who have been exposed to the condition of newborns. The research design uses a quantitative approach with a retrospective approach from mothers who have been exposed to the Covid-19 method. Inclusion criteria for pregnant women in the third trimester, positive RT-PCR test. The number of samples were 242 respondents. The variables tested were maternal age and parity, infant birth weight and birth age. Most of the respondents were aged 20-35 years, multipara and most were born with normal weight. There are no babies who have been confirmed positive for Covid-19. This study shows that the characteristics of mothers who have been exposed to the condition of newborns are interrelated between the age of the mother and the age of the baby (p value is 0.049), the other variables are not related. This study explains that Covid19 does not necessarily affect infant outcomes and can improve the quality of life of pregnant women exposed to Covid19.
