ABSTRACT
This short review summarizes two recent U.S.-based studies in which researchers evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on postpartum outcomes. The first study examined the neurodevelopmental status of infants born to women infected with SARS-CoV-2, and the second examined psychological risks to maternal-infant bonding. Results indicated that pandemic-related stressors likely contributed to diminished maternal-infant health outcomes. It is imperative that nurses stay informed on the latest science exploring the impact the pandemic has had on the health and well-being of pregnant persons and infants.
