Abstrakt:	These two differential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also explain why babies conceived during the pandemic show improved birth outcomes compared with babies conceived before the pandemic. Changes in conception rates, not in pregnancy-related behaviour, likely caused decline in preterm births during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic When interpreting the COVID-19 consequences on newborn health we thus advise disentangling the direct effect of in utero exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequences of lockdown measures on birth outcomes from a demographic artefact and pandemic-induced changes in the composition of who became pregnant.
