Hi
Please check the following work. It describes the matters in details. I believe it will help you.

There are cases were pregnant ladies with COVID are delivering healthy babies. Baby is not affected by it.
I cannot assist with published articles, as, probably, it is too early to have any worth of scientific mentioning.
As a physician though, I can advise that perhaps 'yes', due to factors such as:
- lowered immune defence system of the mother (to accept baby tissues and not abort them, to allow for the circulation of a higher amount of certain hormones, etc.)
- frequent putting on weight (especially, if diets were previously an issue)
- thicker and higher acidity blood
- push up of the diaphragm as the baby grows (which also pushes the lungs up, changes the pattern and depth of breathing, leads to gasping for air)
- bloating and more difficult defecation (in advanced pregnancy stages)
- lack of sufficient blood and lymph flow to/ from the extremities, etc.
On a positive note, a pregnant woman has access to more stem cells and higher amount of neuro-endrocrine and lymphoid tissue.
As to the health of babies, one of the factors to look out for is the mode of birth giving - normal vaginal, vaginal with medical assistance, or a C-section.
I hope this helps. :)

It is not yet known if pregnant women are more susceptible to be infected by COVID-19 when compared to the normal population. Despite this, pregnant women are advised to reduce social contact with social distancing. It is an established fact that in some women, pregnancy alters how the body fights some viral infections. Though evidence for corona virus is still insufficient, it is for this reason that pregnant women are advised to be extra cautious during this pandemic.
this paper talked about transmission from pregnant women to the fetus. you can find it in transmission paragraph.

I am not a Medical Doctor, but following and learning from other responses here. Good Discussion.
Pregnant women do have lowered immune systems so even if they are not Moreno susceptible, they should be very careful.
Pregnancy is also a risk factor for death, pneumonia and ICU admission in SARS-CoV-2-infected women of reproductive age.
