How does enterovirus D68 affect pregnancy?

Most pregnant women have developed some level of immunity (protection) to EV-D68 illnesses due to previous exposures. The virus doesn’t appear to cause problems during pregnancy.

If you have the virus at the time of childbirth or while breastfeeding, there’s a small chance your baby may get it. It’s rare for the virus to cause serious problems in an infant. Still, you should talk to your healthcare provider if you feel ill while pregnant or breastfeeding.
