What's new in midwifery - 17th March 2021

Trying to return to regularity.

First, a BMJ "living systematic review" about COVID and pregnancy has been updated.   

A research letter in JAMA reports a possible case of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from an infected pregnant mother to her newborn 

And the Guardian reports a case of a baby born with antibodies to the same virus, after mum received her vaccine when 36 weeks pregnant.   This is reported in a preprint in medRxiv.   Preprints are an important source of research information in COVID, I think, as they are rapid, but note that preprints have not been peer reviewed.
