TL;DR: Perinatal mortality and morbidity is markedly increased in intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses and serial assessments of the risk of continuing the in utero fetal life under adverse conditions versus the risks of the prematurity should be performed.

TL;DR: Early gestational age at infection, maternal ventilatory supports and low birthweight are the main determinants of adverse perinatal outcomes in fetuses with maternal COVID-19 infection.

TL;DR: A patient who noted decreased fetal movements after a seizure at 32 weeks' gestation revealed fetal death and findings consistent with an intraventricular hemorrhage and the possible explanations for and the significance of an association between a maternal seizure and fetal intraventionally hemorrhage are discussed.
