Delta variant linked to increased risk of stillbirth, CDC study finds today.com
Stillbirths were rare in the United States before the pandemic, at a rate of 0.59%. Those rates remained similar even when the pandemic hit, at 0.64% among women who were never diagnosed with COVID-19.
But the rate of stillbirths rose to 0.98% among expectant mothers infected with the coronavirus, according to the CDC report.
And once the delta variant took hold in July this year, the rates rose exponentially: 2.7% of COVID-positive pregnancies ended in stillbirth.

One report examines coronavirus-associated deaths during pregnancy in Mississippi between the beginning of March 2020 and early October 2021. During that 19-month period, 1,637 SARS-CoV-2 infections during pregnancy were reported, with 15 covid-19-associated deaths. Of those, six occurred before the delta virus took hold, accounting for five deaths per 1,000 infections. Once delta became predominant, those numbers rose, to nine total deaths, for a rate of 25 deaths per 1,000 infections.
