International Prenatal Infection Prevention Month


Pregnancy is an exciting time but it can also be freighting. Any infection or disease that you could pick up while pregnant puts your unborn child at risk. Getting tested for chicken pox and GBS is important because both can cause birth defects. Talk to your doctor and make sure you have all the facts about staying healthy and keeping your baby healthy.
