Can a pregnant woman spread the coronavirus to her fetus?
It’s possible, but it seems to be relatively rare and scientists think they know why that is.

Researchers in Italy studied 31 women with COVID-19 who delivered babies in March and April.
They found COVID in several samples of umbilical cord blood, the placenta and, in one case, breast milk.
