The fact that the omikron variant of the coronavirus has supplanted the delta variant also seems good news for pregnant women. While an infection with the delta variant still led to a higher risk of a stillbirth, gynecologist Sam Schoenmakers from 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 women. We hear almost nothing now, not even about IC shots or emergency caesarean sections.”
