Our team has done formative research abt how to effectively message the concept that health BEFORE pregnancy matters. I'm interested to hear what best practices YOU have found in effective behavior changing messages / materials? #WorldBDDay
A3: People who are pregnant are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can protect you from getting very sick. Keeping you as healthy as possible during pregnancy is good for you and for the health of your baby. #WorldBDday https://t.co/pO6zmdTaYr
A4a: Prescription medications are necessary for many women. Creating a treatment plan with your doctor before you become pregnant can help keep you and your developing baby healthy. #WorldBDDay#ManyBirthDefects1Voice https://t.co/6kzirNgUB7
A6: Alcohol can cause problems for a baby at any time in pregnancy. Maternal alcohol use when pregnant can increase the risk of birth defects for the baby. #WorldBDDay#ManyBirthDefects1Voice https://t.co/r8Ik9HrRag
Practicing self-care BEFORE pregnancy will go a long way in improving outcomes. Some key areas include:
• Getting regular health checkups
• Stop smoking before trying to get pregnant.
• Reduce alcohol intake.
• Take Folic Acid.

Unsure about pp birth control? Consider keeping a fresh condom pack in an accessible spot. There might be only a few minutes when baby is sleeping & both partners are in the mood -- you don’t want to spend those minutes looking for a condom! #NewMomHealth https://t.co/GmUBiy9kEh
