To see the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on early spontaneous abortions and early termination of pregnancy in the first trimester
To date, the research has focused on the complications of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant women. There is no research in the literature that has compared the rates and behavior of miscarriage during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic to before the time of the pandemic. As described in the literature, there is an established connection between COVID-19 and stress, anxiety, and depression. There is also an established connection between stress, anxiety, and depression and rates of miscarriage. The investigators hereby wish to analyze the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on miscarriages. In this study, The investigators will analyze the number of early missed abortions and number of termination of pregnancies in the first trimester before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
