Two hospitals in NY tested all pregnant women that came in for delivery. They found roughly 15% were positive (bear in mid false negatives have been shown to be as high as 30% depending on the test and facility, possibly bringing the "real" total to as high as 40.5%). Of those that tested positive 88% were asymptomatic. You could pretty easily make the argument that most pregnant women were likely more cautious than the general public once it became widely known COVID was an issue, I'd expect many were extra cautious before then.
These numbers are staggering and worrisome to me.
