H1N1 and Pregnancy


I knew the swine flu was serious but this morning on my to work I heard a new report from the cdc. I wanted to share the facts with you.


“The CDC is aware of about 700 cases of 2009 H1N1 in pregnant women since late April or early May,” Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention told FOXNews.com. “There have been about 100 pregnant women admitted to intensive care units and there have been 28 pregnant women who have died from 2009 H1N1.”
