Or maybe, we meant this Labor Day!

Either way, enjoy and relax!
Stay cool in this heat wave and remember to hydrate with H2O!

How to Tell When Labor Begins Most women give birth between 38 and 41 weeks of pregnancy. The more you know about what to expect during labor, the better prepared you will be once it begins.

Spread the word! We are hosting the clinic at all locations! Walk in only, no appointments!

In observance of Memorial Day, our offices are closed today.

In memorial of those who served for our country, we honor and thank You.

From our families to your families.

"While masking and social distancing are helpful preventive measures, we can say unequivocally that COVID-19 vaccination is the only reliable way for pregnant individuals to protect themselves, their families and their pregnancies." -Christopher Zahn, MD, FACOG, vice president of Practice Activities for ACOG.

ACOG strongly recommends vaccination against COVID-19 for all those who are pregnant, recently pregnant, or planning to become pregnant.

Honoring and remembering those who served.

EVERYONE over 16 years of age are now eligible for the COVID vaccine! You can go to http://myturn.ca.gov or your county website for local sites to sign-up!

Check your local pharmacies also (even Sam's Club!), they may have the vaccine in stock. Moderna (2 doses, 4 weeks apart) and J&J (1 dose) are for 18years+, Pfizer (2 doses, 3 weeks apart) is for 16years+.

All have shown at least 60% immunity to minimize risks for the virus and potential variants, but are not 100% preventive. The vaccines help REDUCE your risk for infection, otherwise, provide a SOONER immune reaction to make antibodies to fight the infection if you do get COVID19.

Pfizer & Moderna use mRNA technology to TRANSPORT the code to make antibodies. J&J uses a deactivated adenovirus (used in various vaccines already, and is known as one of the causes of common colds) to TRANSPORT the code to make antibodies. NONE of these alter your DNA or RNA. NONE of these carry any parts of the coronavirus.

GOAL: educate the community, reduce risks, and reduce death (mortality) rates!

My Turn - California COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling & Notifications My Turn is where Californians can find out if you are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination, schedule appointments, and sign up for notifications. Register to get notified when it’s your turn to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Questions or concerns about the vaccine and your fertility? Remember, pregnant patients are now on the eligible tier list for the COVID vaccine!
