I just have some pregnant relatives who need more than DDF data in order to be convinced they should be more careful.
when they get to the hospital they will be swabbed. if they test positive, they will not be able to touch the baby after birth, possibly shuttled off to NICU
that has scared multiple mothers into being careful

Still 3-4 months away from that. I'd like encourage them to take some extra precautions before then.

All the stories going around are from the 9th month, so it won't help your case.

Plenty of stories of much earlier induced births

This, and a few unfortunate stories of lost pregnancies, R"L.

Just heard of someone I know with a lost pregnancy DTC in the 6th month in Lakewood.

Can't like that post, but I've been hearing a lot of this, especially in the last month or 2. I'm wondering if anyone's keeping track of this stuff.

R’ Chaim Kanievsky video?

There is a Lakewood woman in her 9th month on a vent in Philadelphia hospital.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Thats one source. Professor Shulman is a well respected Doctor who I trust.

Almost all of the cases I heard about on this forum etc were third trimester.

Likewise for woman in my area who were/are having a hard time.

But yes I'm not a doctor

The earlier it is, the less people are likely to talk about it

Idk about other places, but IIRC I heard that in Toronto they weren't letting anyone come into the hospital with a COVID+ mother in labor. I think the prospect of having no moral support during labor/birth might scare many women into being careful.

I know there were women who had a hard time in March/April but I still have a question why are we seeing so much more of this issue this time around.
Some possible reasons
In general, more men were hit the first round than women. (This round is almost a cleanup round as unfortunately many of those who still were not infected got it now R"L)
The UK variant seems to be more of a cause - either because it's more contagious or more harmful to women
There may be a higher percentage of pregnant women now to a lockdown baby boom.

Seeming more and more likely that COVID will be similar to the flu in that we'll get an annual vaccine that tries to guess the dominant variants...

Unless mRNA vaccines are quick enough to modify to include emerging variants.

They need to develop it (days), trial it (weeks, if not months depending on the standard needed), and administer it (months).
No?

Do flu seasonal vaccines go through a trial period?

Is there any data that shows variants evade any form of vaccination/immunity for severe disease?

 I wouldn't be so sure it will ultimately happen, perhaps via human-animal-human transmission.
