If the mother is infected with rabies while in late term pregnancy with the offspring, then those offspring could be born infected with rabies. More likely, however, is that the mother will either not be far enough along to deliver term offspring prior to succumbing to rabies herself or the infection will cause her to abort the offspring and/or abandon them to die.
