Pregnant women being infected with Corona exposes their children to unexpected danger

Although these results are not conclusive, they raise important questions about the long-term impact of maternal injuries during pregnancy. In their paper published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, the researchers also emphasized “the importance of long-term neurological and developmental monitoring of children who were exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus while in the womb.”

It is scientifically known that the Corona virus poses a greater risk to pregnant women, as previous studies have shown that pregnant women are more susceptible to severe infections, while their children may face an increased risk of premature birth and other complications. But this study goes further, as it focused on examining the possibility that Corona infection during pregnancy increases the risk of the child developing autism.

Autism is a complex condition that usually arises from a combination of different factors, including genetics. However, previous research has also indicated a link between some maternal infections – including fever – and an increased risk of autism in the child. (Russia Today)
