Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 is a viral disease with potentially devastating effects. Observational studies of pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 report an increased risk for FGR. This study utilizes data from a prospective SARS-CoV-2 registry in pregnancy, investigating the progression of fetuses to fetal growth restriction (FGR) at birth following maternal SARS-CoV-2 and evaluating the hypothesis of whether the percentage of SGA at birth is increased after maternal SARS-CoV-2 taking into account the time interval between infection and birth.

Background: Incarceration of a gravid uterus (IGU) is a rare manifestation in obstetrics that may be associated with serious complications.
Case: We report on a 29-year-old patient at 34+2 weeks' gestation who presented with HELLP syndrome. IGU had been initially diagnosed in our department at 23+6 weeks' gestation.
Geburtskliniken werden zunehmend mit an Covid-19 erkrankten Schwangeren konfrontiert.

It is unclear whether medically assisted reproduction additionally affects maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with COVID-19.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of medically assisted reproduction on maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with COVID-19 in pregnancy.
Background: In patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes, intrauterine inflammation and/or infection is frequently present, can lead to fetal inflammatory response syndrome, and is associated with adverse neonatal outcome. Clinical decision making requires balancing the potential benefits of pregnancy prolongation against the risk of intrauterine infection. Diagnostic tests in maternal serum are of moderate prediction value and amniocentesis is an invasive procedure.

Incomplete remodelling of uterine spiral arteries is associated with placental oxidative stress, placental dysfunction, and the complications of pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Abnormally low PlGF levels identify placental dysfunction and an increased risk for pregnancy complication.
