Disclaimer: I am not pregnant, nor do I have COVID-19. This is just a rethorical question I thought of two days ago.

There have been a few documented cases where vertical transmission might have occurred, but it appears to be a rare event (most newborns tested shortly after birth are negative for the virus)

Rhetorical means you know the answer, so let's avoid the inevitably emotional debate and just tell us the answer!

At this point. Who cares? Corona is a thing of the past. It might still be around in a few places but it is no longer a problem.
