Association of maternal SARS ‐CoV‐2 infection at the time of admission for delivery with labor process and outcomes of vaginal birth: A cohort study

ConclusionsA positive maternal SARS-CoV-2 test in labor among women having vaginal birth was associated with a slightly longer duration of labor, increased likelihood of episiotomy, increased incidence of grade III meconium-stained amniotic fluid, a longer postpartum hospital stay and a lower rate of breastfeeding 1  week postpartum. However, it did not have an adverse impact on other birth outcomes.
