Pregnant women and neonates are often categorised as being at high risk during the corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, pregnant women with COVID-19 in the third trimester are more likely than their non-pregnant counterparts to require intensive care, though this may reflect a lower threshold for intervention in pregnant women rather than more serious disease. Compared with pregnant women without COVID-19, pregnant women with symptomatic COVID-19 requiring admission to hospital have worse maternal outcomes, including death, although the absolute risk remains very low. Outcomes of neonates born to women positive for COVID-19 are generally very good, though iatrogenic preterm birth is more common. In this paper, we discuss the effects the effects on COVID pandemic and pregnancy outcome among mother at selected hospital, Puducherry. The main study was conducted at SMVMCH, Puducherry. The period of data collection was 1 week, and the data were collected from the 50 mothers by using knowledge questionnaires. Convenience sampling technique was used. The findings shows 36(72%) had moderate effect on COVID pandemic, 9(18%) had mild effect on COVID pandemic and 5(10%) had severe effect on COVID pandemic and the mean and standard deviation of level of knowledge regarding the effect on COVID pandemic and pregnancy outcome among pregnant mothers on Covid-19 among antenatal mothers is (14.80+4.347) respectively. The study shows that majority of mothers are having moderate effect on Covid-19.
