This study aimed to investigate the impact of maternal SARS‐CoV‐2 infection at the time of admission for delivery on labor process and outcomes of vaginal birth. A positive maternal SARS‐CoV‐2 test in labor among women having vaginal birth was associated with a slightly longer duration of labor, increased likelihood of episiotomy, increased incidence of grade III meconium‐stained amniotic fluid, a longer postpartum hospital stay and a lower rate of breastfeeding 1 week postpartum. However, it did not have an adverse impact on other birth outcomes.
