Getting recommended vaccinations while pregnant helps your body create protective antibodies (proteins produced by the body to fight off illnesses) that you can pass on to your baby.
Talk to a healthcare provider you trust about the vaccines that are right for you during your pregnancy.

Congrats Julia! And thank you for your hard work and dedication to improving the First Breath program! 🎉

At WWHF we believe in the power of learning, and today we are celebrating one of our own.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers in the central nervous system, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, vision problems, and impaired coordination.

March 30 is MS Awareness Day. World MS Day was initiated in 2009 by the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF) and its global members to raise awareness and move us closer to a world free of MS.
