Community Birth Story: Making Peace With a Birth That Didn’t Go As Planned with Nitzan Auz
Q: What helped you cope during the long labor and hospital stay?
Advocating for movement, seeking a nurse who supported movement and minimal intervention, and keeping a focus on staying connected to the goal of a healthy baby helped maintain trust through the process.
Community Birth Story: Making Peace With a Birth That Didn’t Go As Planned with Nitzan Auz
Q: How did you feel when your birth didn't unfold as planned and you faced induction again?
There was a mix of surrender and resolve; I accepted that I had to proceed with the plan, tried to stay connected to my body, and ultimately found a path that kept us both safe and healthy.
Vaccines During Pregnancy and Infancy: What Parents Should Know with Dr. Flor Muñoz
Q: What should parents do when they encounter conflicting information online about vaccines?
Rely on trusted, evidence-based sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and resources like the Vaccine Integrity Project to verify safety and efficacy data.
Vaccines During Pregnancy and Infancy: What Parents Should Know with Dr. Flor Muñoz
Q: How does vaccination in pregnancy translate to protection for the newborn in the first months of life?
The placenta actively transfers maternal IgG antibodies to the infant, increasing antibody levels by birth to confer immunity during the first six months; breastfeeding adds a mucosal layer of protection, complementing the placental antibodies.
Vaccines During Pregnancy and Infancy: What Parents Should Know with Dr. Flor Muñoz
Q: Which vaccines are currently recommended during pregnancy, and why are they prioritized for the mother and baby?
Tetanus-containing vaccines with the pertussis component (Tdap) are recommended to prevent neonatal tetanus and pertussis in the baby, RSV vaccines protect against bronchiolitis and pneumonia, and influenza and COVID-19 vaccines protect both mother and infant by reducing complications that can affect the pregnancy and newborn.
