| Abstrakt: | Background: Studies on the maternal and fetal effects of Covid 19 have a small sample and mostly include data from 2020. Objective: The study aimed to determine the maternal and fetal effects of COVID-19 within the two-year period from the onset of the pandemic. Methodology: This study was planned as a retrospective descriptive study. It was conducted in a training and research hospital. The sample consisted of 176 pregnant women and 68 newborns diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 11, 2020 and February 11, 2022. Data were collected from patient registry files. Results: Among pregnant women, 15.3% were immigrants and 18.8% experienced complications related to COVID-19. In terms of hospitalization, 4.0% of the women were admitted to the intensive care unit, and mechanical ventilation was utilized by 2.8%. Out of the total number of women, 38.6% gave birth. The majority of these births, 73.5%, were delivered via cesarean section. Concerning the newborns, 8.8% were intubated, 22.0% were hospitalized in the intensive care unit, 4.4% tested positive for COVID-19, and 51.5% were fed with formula. Pregnant women with a low gestational week had higher rates of having cesarean section (p<0,05). Compared to Turkish women, the incidence of COVID-19 complications was higher in immigrant women, and the rate of breastfeeding their newborns was lower (p<0,05). Conclusion: Cesarean section rate is high in COVID-19, there is a relationship between premature birth and cesarean section. The rate of feeding with formula are higher in babies of pregnant women with COVID-19. The rate of COVID-19 complications and feeding their baby with formula are higher in immigrant women.
