February is International Prenatal Infection Prevention Month, a vital campaign dedicated to raising awareness about infections that can be passed from a pregnant person to their baby.
While the topic can feel a bit daunting, the goal isn't to cause worry it's to empower parents with the knowledge to protect their little ones before they even arrive.
Why This Month Matters
Many prenatal infections are "silent," meaning the parent might not feel sick at all, but the infection can still impact the baby's development. Early screening and simple lifestyle shifts can prevent the vast majority of these complications.
