Every Podcast Conversation at Your Fingertips

This is a special bonus episode of The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, where we are going to dive into all things COVID and the COVID vaccine during pregnancy.

I get questions about these topics all the time in my DMs, and totally understand that there is a lot of confusion and uncertainty surrounding pregnancy and COVID-19. As you know, I am a healthcare professional, but I decided that this wasn’t a topic I wanted to cover completely on my own.

I wanted to have an OBGYN come on here so that we could have this discussion together. And I was so fortunate to be joined by board-certified OB-GYN, Dr. Marta Perez of @dr.martaperez over on Instagram.

She regularly shares evidence information surrounding COVID during pregnancy and the COVID vaccine, so I thought she was the perfect person to come on here and talk about myths and facts in a level-headed, evidence-based manner.

1:32.4	I'm a medical professional, I'm a nurse, you guys know that. But I felt like I didn't want to
1:38.7	just cover this topic by myself. I wanted to have an OB come on here and have a discussion
