H1N1 Vaccines for Mom

Good question EM– I am not sure what the real answer is.  The recommendation for the Flu Shot is still the same– give to health care providers, pregnant women, the elderly, children and those that have chronic conditions ie asthma.  This has not changed.  The studies are still not completed on the H1N1 have not been completed and the availability is questionable.  Most of my population is watching and waiting and not sure if they want the H1N1 vaccine or not. I am trying to read everything possible so as to educate myself and my patient population.  Lonnie

H1N1 Vaccines for Mom

Hey Lonnie,Just trying to pick you brain about a new hot topic. James and I are trying for # 2 of the”Massiveness”. My workplace has just mandated the H1N1 to all those who have direct contact with patients. I took the regular flu shot already but as you know H1N1 is not yet here. I know its recommended for all those expecting but don’t know the research - if any has been done on the effects to the baby.Thanks,EM

Women are amazing

We had 5 fabulous births this week.  One birth was better than the next.  Really proved to me that watchful waiting is the way to go.  Wonderful week filled with wonderful families that had great babies.  Could anything get better?  Women are so strong and amazing.  Lonnie
