The pandemic has resulted in increased anxiety in the universal populace more so for the pregnant women owing to the new period of uncertainty.
Though the effects of the coronavirus are more or less the same on each one of us; pregnant women have been considered as clinically exposed to the added risk of Covid-19 and hence been included in the moderate risk group as a precautionary measure. Expecting mothers in their third trimester or the 28th week, are required to be extra cautious and follow the social distancing norms strictly. Data from various sources revealed women were predominantly affected during their third trimester of pregnancy. Also, women with prevenient medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure ,or hypertension ,or prior major surgeries are at an increased risk of enduring the virus and recoup.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION

Navigating the Health Insurance Market_ Understanding Trends and Options.pdfEnterprise Wired
From navigating policy options to staying informed about industry trends, this comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about the health insurance market.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
2. Hospital and birth center
policies are changing
each day as we learn more
about COVID-19 and its
impact on our families
and communities. Ask
your provider questions
to be informed and ask
them often.
Keep reading to learn some things to keep in mind
as you continue to navigate your journey during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
3. During COVID-19 I would like to ensure:
My support people will be:
And the best way to contact them is:
Date and result of my last COVID-19 test:
I have/have not (circle one) discussed all my birthing options with
my provider.
I’m taking advantage of the Home to Hospital program.
My providers are:
and their numbers are:
If safe, I will be discharged early to my home birth providers.
Their names and phone numbers are:
I do not want to be induced unless absolutely medically
necessary.
I am ok to have an induction scheduled.
If I test positive for COVID-19....
My support person with me will be:
And the best way to contact them is:
They have consented to being with me in the room with a
positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
If I test positive for COVID-19, I will... (check all that apply)
chest/breastfeed
pump
supplement with formula
...with the proper PPE and precautions to ensure baby
and my safety.
If I test positive for COVID-19, I will be/will not be (circle one)
separated from my baby.
In the case of a separation I would like:
to stay with the baby.
I consent/do not consent (circle one) to my baby being nasal
swab tested for COVID-19.
4. During pregnancy, your body is working hard for you
and baby; it’s important to protect yourself and baby
from any illness or flu.
• There is currently no data (as of November 2020) that
shows your baby can get COVID-19 in utero (during
pregnancy) but your baby can contract COVID-19 once
they are born.
• If you have symptoms, have been around someone with
COVID-19, or are unsure of the symptoms and warning
signs of COVID-19, talk with your primary care or perinatal
health care provider.
• Call your provider if you develop any symptoms such as:
- A fever higher than 100°F and chills, cough, shortness
of breath or difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or
smell.
Note: It is common for pregnant people to have a
higher temperature up to 100.4°F degrees.
- If you have trouble breathing (more than what has been
normal in your pregnancy), are unresponsive, blue lips or
face, pain or pressure in your chest call 911 immediately.
• If you are on Medicaid Apple Health, you will not lose
coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pregnancy does not mean you
are at greater risk for COVID-19.
5. Any support people that may be with you may be
asked to get tested as well.
• Make a plan for you and your support team to
be tested regularly. This can be a harm-reduction
technique to help avoid unwanted interventions
including induction.
• Many counties have established public free
testing sites. Local Testing sites can be found online
or by talking to your provider. Visit our website for
a list of county wide COVID testing information:
thematernalcoalition.org
If you are planning to deliver at a
hospital, You will be asked to get
tested for COVID-19 close to your
due date, scheduled induction or
scheduled c-section.
Visit our website for more resources and information
TheMaternalCoalition.org
6. It is important to learn about interventions as they can
heavily influence the outcome of your birth and postpartum
experience.
• Interventions: tools used to change or intervene with
the perinatal process. For example, massage, formula
supplementation, medical breaking of someone’s bag of
waters and cesarean birth.
• Inductions are a series of medical interventions offered in
a hospital setting to establish active labor and birth and can
take anywhere from 1-4 days.
- Reasons to be induced: Pre-eclampsia, infections, health
issue with pregnancy or baby, water broke with no labor
after 24 hours, pregnancy past 41 weeks, or by parent’s
own choice.
- Reasons not to be induced unless there are coexisting
medical complications: Discomfort in pregnancy, at
doctor’s request, estimated weight of baby being “too
big”, labor not starting on it’s own between 41 and 42
weeks of pregnancy, obesity, age, physical or cognitive
disabilities, managed preexisting conditions, race and
ethnicity, and addiction recovery status.
- The COVID-19 pandemic, hospital
capacity, and other system related
decisions (i.e. needing a COVID-19 test)
are NOT reasons to induce.
Have a plan to navigate
recommendations for inductions
and other interventions.
7. If you test positive for COVID-19...
This is not medical advice.
These recommendations are based off
of current data as of November 2020.
Keep in mind each hospital and birth center will have their
own protocols, double check ahead of time and often what
those protocols are and update them in your birth plan.
This time of stress and uncertainty is deeply impactful, making
perinatal mood disorders more likely. Our need for care is higher than
ever, consider the support you may need, who is in your community,
including who you see often, and what resources are available. Connect
with your support team safely by video chat, send pictures of your
journey, and go for walks. Developing a routine with your team can
ensure you have someone and something that is waiting to hear how
you are doing as you navigate the joys and challenges ahead.
You should not have to birth alone.
• Your partner may not be able to attend the birth with you if you
have a positive test. Providers will want to verify there will be
someone who is COVID-19 negative to care for the baby. Ask
instead if a friend, family member or doula can attend with
you that consent to being around if you are COVID-19 positive.
• Double check with your provider about the hospital/birth
center protocols, as you may be told you cannot have any
support people with you if you are positive.
It is your right to have one
support person who consents
to being around you while you
are COVID-19 positive.
8. YOUR BODY.
YOUR BABY.
YOUR DECISIONS.
If you test positive for COVID-19...
This is YOUR choice.
• You have the right to keep your baby with you but remain
masked as a preventative measure, transmission levels
between a parent and a baby have been shown to be low.
• Your provider may recommend someone who is not sick to care
for the baby until you are no longer COVID-19 positive.
• When you go home, with suspected or confirmed COVID-19
your provider may request you stay in separate rooms in the
house from the baby and have someone who is not sick care
for the baby.
• Practice precautions around your baby and other people
by wearing a mask, frequently washing hands, and
sanitizing surfaces.
• If a doctor recommends a COVID-19 test on your baby,
you can opt out.
Care Providers may strongly
recommend you be separated
from your baby.
9. If you test positive for COVID-19...
• Human milk is strongly recommended for babies as it has
antibodies that keep a baby healthy, growing and keep them
from getting sick. It protects babies from:
- Diarrhea and stomach upset
- Labored breathing
- Infections
- Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
• Nursing increases bonding between parent and baby, helps
recovery postpartum, decreases postpartum mood disorders,
and releases oxytocin which promotes bonding and milk
production.
• As of right now, there is no data to show COVID-19 can be
passed through placenta or breast/chest milk.
• It’s recommended to practice: washing hands before and after
touching baby, routinely cleaning surfaces, wearing a mask
during feedings can be an additional precaution.
- These are also encouraged for formula-fed babies!
- With pumping: clean pump before use, wash hands, pump
and store milk as usual, and then clean pump again.
• You have the right to keep nursing your baby even with a positive
COVID-19 diagnosis or suspected positive for COVID-19 (all details
below encouraged by the World Health Organization):
- The baby will get antibodies through your milk.
- Practice the above mentioned precautions.
- Get support around breast/chestfeeding,
this increases chances of successfully nursing
baby -even without a positive diagnosis.
• Visit our website for lactation support
options.
You can and are encouraged to
still nurse your baby if you are
COVID-19 positive.
10. The Maternal Coalition | info@thematernalcoalition.org
Thank You to Our Funders Who Supported the Making of This Toolkit:
Below are questions and topics to ask your
providers regarding their policies around
