Covid 19 Vaccine and Pregnancy

Pregnant and recently pregnant people are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people.  If you are pregnant, you can receive a COVID-19 vaccine.  Getting a COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy can protect you from severe illness from COVID-19.  If you have questions about getting vaccinated, a conversation with your healthcare provider might help, but is not required for vaccination.

You can find more information about Covid 19, your risks and benefits from the Covid-19 vaccine on the CDC website by clicking here.

If you would like to speak to someone about COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, please contact MotherToBaby.  MotherToBaby experts are available to answer questions in English or Spanish by phone or chat.  The free and confidential service is available Monday–Friday 8am–5pm (local time).

To reach MotherToBaby: Call 1-866-626-6847 OR Chat live at mothertobaby.org

Testimonials
I enjoyed learning from the videos, the pregnancy handbook and one on one teaching about the benefits of breastfeeding; Along with all the pamphlets available to me. This is my first baby and I was determined to educate myself about the stages of pregnancy and the care of my newborn. It’s important to develop confidence and to be ready for the arrival of a new baby.”

Breastfeeding Benefits
Picture
Breastfeeding is best for your baby, and it's good for your health, too.  It's the perfect baby food and contains immunity boosting antibodies and healthy enzymes.  Some benefits to breastfeeding are, protects against allergies and eczema, less upset of stomach, diarrhea, contipation over formula, lessens the risk of SIDS and most importantly brings baby close to you.  But it's not always easy, at WIHCC we can help you overcome those hurdles and become successful at breastfeeding.  For Breastfeeding services stop by Room 215  on the second floor in the old main clinic building or call Noreen Barton for appointment.
