Parent Pod from BabyCentre - Covid Q&A

In this special Covid-19 edition of the Parent Pod, we’ll be addressing some of the most-asked questions and concerns surrounding the coronavirus vaccine and pregnancy. We’ll be hearing from Rukeya Miah who is the Lead Midwife for the Bradford vaccination programme. Joining her, Kate Heighway, the Lead Public Health Midwife at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust, will explain why pregnant women are considered a priority group for the vaccination. They’ll also be breaking down the common myths and misconceptions surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine and the dangerous role social media has to play in circulating misinformation. Plus – we talk about which stage of pregnancy is most vulnerable to severe Covid-19 illness, and whether some pregnant women are at a higher risk than others. Worried about what to do if your partner has coronavirus when you go into labour or if the vaccine can affect your breastmilk? We reveal all.


This episode of the Parent Pod is hosted by Sarah Redshaw, Managing Editor for BabyCentre UK.
