The fact that the omikron variant of the coronavirus has supplanted the delta variant also seems good news for pregnant people. While an infection with the delta variant still led to a higher risk of a stillbirth, Dutch gynecologist Sam Schoenmakers of Erasmus MC has not received any reports about this lately, he says when asked. “We will continue to monitor, but it seems that omikron is also milder for pregnant people. We hear almost nothing now, not even about admissions to intensive care or emergency caesarean sections.”
