Help us keep both mothers and babies safe by sharing your birthing experience during the month of November, 2020, at Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. ]]> 2020-11-30 23:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973755699 WHAT do we want to learn? leeh52 https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973790582 It is unknown if vertical/transplacental transmission of COVID-19 is possible during vaginal birth. Our goal is to answer this question by looking at the outcomes of newborn children for both COVID-19 positive and COVID-19 negative mothers who have given birth vaginally. ]]> 2020-11-30 23:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973790582 WHY do we need your help? leeh52 https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973803930 Your story will help us determine if COVID-19 can be transmitted from mother to child during a vaginal birth. The infographic below demonstrates our current knowledge on giving birth during this novel pandemic. It is clear that there is a large gap in knowledge concerning the birthing process. Help us fill in the gaps in order to protect future newborns from COVID-19. ]]> 2020-11-30 23:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973803930 HOW will this work? leeh52 https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973879189 If you gave birth during the month of November 2020 at Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital, we will use information regarding COVID-19 testing from your medical record. Researchers and hospital staff will collaborate to ensure that your privacy and safety are of top priority. ]]> 2020-12-01 00:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973879189 Our GOAL leeh52 https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973961519 Our research team wishes to collect data on vaginal births during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research will effect mothers and babies all around the world, and will either provide evidence that vertical/transplacental transmission of COVID-19 is possible, or provide evidence that it is not. This information is imperative to ensure that necessary safety protocols can be implemented to protect newborns from COVID-19. ]]> 2020-12-01 00:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973961519 YOU can help future mothers create a safe COVID-19 birth plan leeh52 https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973976059 2020-12-01 01:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/973976059 Summary leeh52 https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/974002945 With your help, our research team will be able to provide evidence in support of or against the idea that COVID-19 can be spread from mother to newborn during a vaginal birth. By assessing both COVID-19 negative and COVID-19 positive mothers, we can examine transmission trends in order to discover more about possible transmission routes of COVID-19. It is necessary to assess newborns that were all born in the same environment (Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital) to ensure that no outside sources are responsible for COVID-19 transmission.]]> 2020-12-01 01:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/leeh52/1ya8hh5dmkq1ewfj/wish/974002945
