A retrospective case-control study was conducted among 66 women in labor. Clinical data were obtained from medical records. The attendance rates at childbirth and parenting classes, as well as the implementation of a birth plan, were significantly lower in the COVID-19 infection group (6.1% vs. 48.5%, <0.001; 6.1% vs. 33.3%, p = .005, respectively). Women with COVID-19 had a higher prevalence of prolonged postpartum hospital stay (33.3% vs. 9.1%, p = .016), and significantly higher prevalence of spontaneous preterm birth (27.3% vs. 1.09%, p = .006). Breastfeeding within the first 24 hr was also lower in women with COVID-19 (72.7% vs. 97.0%, p = .006). Maternal characteristics and neonatal outcomes are influenced by COVID-19 infection in vaccinated women. Complications include spontaneous preterm birth, prolonged postpartum hospital stay, and lack of breastfeeding within the first 24 hr. Childbirth education, parenting classes and implementing a birth plan may be associated with a decreased risk of COVID-19 infection.}, publisher = {Sage}, keywords = {COVID-19}, keywords = {SARS-CoV-2}, keywords = {birth plan}, keywords = {breast feeding}, keywords = {neonatal nursing}, keywords = {obstetric nursing}, keywords = {prenatal education}, title = {Impact of SARS-COV-2 Infection on Maternal, Obstetric and Neonatal Outcomes in a Cohort of Vaccinated Women: A Pilot Study}, doi = {10.1177/10998004241237134}, author = {Cruz Calvente, María and Rueda Medina, Blanca María and Gil Gutiérrez, María del Rocío and Medina Martínez, Irene and Gómez Urquiza, Jose Luis and Correa Rodríguez, María}, }
