- ImmunizationsMany vaccines are safe to get in pregnancy. Indeed, there are vaccines that are recommended to be done in each pregnancy. There is no evidence of adverse fetal effects from vaccinating pregnant women with inactivated vaccines. Influenza vaccination in pregnancy is important because contracting this infection in pregnancy can lead to a greater risk of maternal and/or fetal morbidity and mortality. All pregnant women should receive the tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, and pertussis vaccine (Tdap) within the 27-36 week of gestation timeframe to provide the fetus antibodies the newborn will need to fight a potential infection from these viruses. There are vaccines you should not get while pregnant or within three months of conception. The varicella and measles-mumps-rubella vaccines should be avoided during this time.

- ObstetricsAlthough yearly pap smears have been recommended for years, the newer technologies used to perform pap smears have afforded the ability to test for high risks strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). These high-risk strains can increase the chances of developing abnormal or precancerous changes in cervical cells. Based on the information that has been gained on newer large studies, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologist (ACOG) has recommended that yearly pap smears may not be necessary for all patients and maybe indicated only for patients that are at higher risk for development of abnormal cells. In our pursuit of best practices following evidence-based medicine, we can help you decide if you would benefit from a yearly pap smear, or whether just a yearly physical would be helpful. We do recommend low-risk patients have a pap smear at least once every three years.
