Ali and Sue discuss COVID-19 in pregnancy and labour and answer your burning questions, such as:

• What does a COVID-19 infection mean for me and my baby?
• Are COVID-19 vaccines safe in pregnancy?
• Do I need to tell my healthcare provider if I have COVID-19?
• Does COVID-19 change my pregnancy care and birth plan?
• Can I still breastfeed?
• Where can I get more information on COVID-19 in pregnancy?

As discussed in the episode, Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), is a good source of information, you can visit their website here, as well as talking to your healthcare provider.
