PREGNANCY DURING COVID 19

Is The Coronavirus Affecting Pregnant Women?

Pregnant women have been placed on the vulnerable group.  In addition to the CDC guidelines for the Coronavirus, it is important to keep a strong immune system. Please follow the updates directly from American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and as much as possible keep your OB appointments while following social distancing and protective gear guidelines.
