Pregnant people worldwide are worried they will catch the coronavirus and pass it to their newborn baby. As an OB-GYN working in a Covid-19 hot spot, I am a firsthand witness to this anxiety.

Although much remains unknown about the coronavirus’ effects on pregnant people and babies, scientists continue to learn more every day. Evidence shows that most pregnant people who contract the virus will do well, but there is a slight increase in ICU admissions and preterm labor for those who have severe Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Two new independent studies reveal highly encouraging results showing pregnant people with Covid-19 pass protective antibodies to their babies. No one wants pregnant people to contract the coronavirus, but these studies offer promising hope that maternal infection may provide some protection for their babies after birth.

These studies evaluated fetal cord blood from the placenta to determine if SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were transmitted from mom to baby. The placenta is also the defense system against invading infections like bacteria and viruses.

The first study was published in JAMA Pediatrics. Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia collected blood from the placenta from 1,471 people and tested it for antibodies against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Positive IgG antibodies were identified in 83 people.

The researchers then tested the baby’s cord blood and found that IgG antibodies were present in 87% of the newborns born to moms with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

This finding indicates that pregnant people with Covid-19 are passing protective antibodies through the placenta to their babies.

This study also showed that the high rate of antibody transfer did not depend on the maternal disease level. Even the mothers with asymptomatic infection transmitted antibodies to the baby. The data also indicated infection earlier in pregnancy correlated with a higher degree of antibody transfer.

In this study, there were no cases of newborn SARS-CoV-2 infections.

A second study presented at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s annual meeting also showed promising results. This study evaluated the fetal cord blood for IgG antibodies, but also tested for neutralizing antibodies.

In this study, 91% of the cord blood samples were positive for IgG antibodies. Like the JAMA research, these findings indicate that Covid-19-positive moms transmit immunity to the baby through the placenta against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Neutralizing antibodies were identified in 25% of the cord blood samples. While this is also supportive evidence of mom-to-baby immunity benefits, the neutralizing antibody transfer rate was lower than what we see in other infections like pertussis and influenza.
Antibody transfer good news for babies

After a baby is born, the immune system takes time to develop. Babies rely on maternal antibodies to help protect against various infections. These two studies provide essential information to guide further research.

Pregnant people who contract SARS-CoV-2 can find some comfort knowing they will pass protective antibodies to their babies.

It is important to note that these findings do not indicate that these babies are immune to the coronavirus. Further studies will be needed to determine how long the antibodies last and to what degree they offer protection.

These studies also offer highly significant insight into maternal Covid-19 vaccination strategies. Pregnant people were not included in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine clinical trials. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other leading experts agree that life-saving vaccines should not be withheld from pregnant people.

The confirmation of transplacental SARS-CoV-2 antibody transfer will help guide further research on the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy and newborns.

New Confession

Mr John…she stammered.shhhhh I said. If I tell your mom you were actually f****** on my couch she’ll beat you ground you or? Yeah I know. How can we make this right? Well if I won’t tell you can’t tell. Come over here and sit on my lap. No straddle my legs and face me. Are we going to really f***? No sweetie. You are 13, and I’m not insane. But a little foreplay to give you your o***** would be a nice way to end your night. She edged up to me , saw the huge bulge in my pants. And spread her thighs apart and nestled her tight little a** on my legs. God she was warm. I parted her blouse snd palm ribbed her n******. A minute later she closed her eyes and leaned backwards, her tongue lolling in her mouth. I Slowely began sucking and licking her now hardening n******. Slurp. Slurp. I suckled her tips. Oh oh Mr John you really know how to s*** n******. She panted. Now I ran my fingernails from her spread open knees to her very inner thighs. She felt terrific and parted her thighs wider. I smelled her young eager p**** aroma. It was intoxicating. You smell so fresh sweetie. My name is Lizzie. Call me Lizzie. As I messaged her thighs she respread hrr thighs. Am I all drippy? She asked. I moved my fingers to the edge of her vaginal flesh. Yes swee Lizz you are a little slippery. Met I touch your very soft p**** Lizz? Yes yes I ran my fingers over the slushy slit. From a** hole to her c*** I let my fingers fiddle and wiggle in between her inner and outer lips. Nearly virgin as she was the flesh was delicate and lovely. My fingers and c*** tingled as I played with her p****. She gasped a little. Oh oh oh press on my c******* Mr John. Rub it gently. It’s all on fire down there.what’s on fire? My hot p**** Mr John. I know Lizz but it will get much much hotter . I felt up between her inner lips and gently rubbing her buttonwatcher her face contorted as she bit met bottom lip. Ooooo ooooo. Ooooo she slobbered. Yes honey let it go let it grow wild up into your belly and spread. I will get much more exciting. Her 13 yr old p**** enraged my c*** snd it twitched maddeningly. I caressed the wet button slowly and drew circles around it then tapped it seversl times. Then pinched it and then pressed on it. Then gripped the tiny button. Oh oh oh I’m i’m ( I stopped all movements. She unstiffenefd her torso and nearly collapsed. No no no don’t stop. Just for a minute. Your climb up will be even better. Oh s*** oh s*** I have to peepee. Go ahead let it come. She let loose snd peed into a cup i ok held. I watched her urinate and nearly blew my wad. She finished. I wiped her puss and slid my finger to her wet c******* again. Yes yes yes as I rolled my finger over the now very tender c*** I lifted her Fanny closer to my chest. Now my hot breath covered her c***. But also bared her tiny button slowly and hole. It was pink and puckered. Tho delicious looking I chose to use my other finger to eiggle it over her sss hole. She jiggled her a** cheeks trying to tighten them, but I pulled them apart and slid my index finger up into her lovely little yielding hole as fsr as I could. Once fullly inserted I wiggled it round and round and round. She gagged a bit but I gently lifted the hood on her c*** and sucked it into my lips. My waiting tongue began licking her c*** faster and faster. She grunted. She cried out as her wave of lust built up. As I sucked harder she waved her arms skyward snd grabbed her n******, pinching hard. A wild scream may have begun, but no sound was emitting from her gasping mouth. Her a** rippled and bounced on my legs. She stiffened and then looking into my eyes she collapsed against my body. Gasping for oxygen she sagged into e***** exstacy. Oh god oh god. I hugged her tiny body warmly. Was it good for you Lizz? I asked.
