Objective: to describe the epidemiological and obstetric profile of women and newborns of mothers with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Method: this is a cross-sectional, descriptive, retrospective study with data collected from medical records of women treated at a public maternity hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte in the respiratory isolation sector between March and December 2020, including suspected cases and confirmed for SARS-CoV-2. Result: 98 medical records of pregnant patients were analyzed. Regarding pregnant women, five were twin pregnancies and one was triplet, totaling 104 newborns in the study. Only 12 women (11.7%) had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, among which the main associated comorbidity was Gestational diabetes Mellitus and cesarean section as the route of birth. There were no deaths among the newborns. Among the suspected cases that tested negative, the main associated comorbidity was hypertension in pregnancy, most evolved to normal delivery and four newborns evolved to death unrelated to COVID-19. Both groups had mild symptoms on admission; newborns received Apgar ≥8 at the first and fifth minutes. Conclusion: the description of the epidemiological and obstetric profile showed significant associations with the comorbidities diabetes mellitus, gestational hypertension, and increased the incidence of cesarean section in the group of positive patients. Neonatal outcomes did not show negative outcomes. The knowledge of these characteristics helps in the construction of care for the study population and the formulation of actions in the care service that qualify the assistance and bring resolution to clinical situations.
