I kept reading that ebola can be transmitted during pregnancy but I'm not sure if it only means the secretions etc are infectious or the baby inside will also be infected. please help!

The previous person has a good point, a pregnant woman must be ready to deliveralready when she catches the disease. There is a blood barrier between the mother and baby, but all the mucous membranes of the infant will be exposed when the mother delivers

Don't think there will be enough time as people with ebola virus die within 10 days?

Absolutely. All viruses can be passed through the blood.
