Pregnancy Updates During Coronavirus “COVID-19”

NOTICE FOR PREGNANT PATIENTS

Even as we transition out of Minnesota’s stay at home order, we continue to recommend pregnant patients strictly adhere to social distancing by staying home starting at 36 weeks gestation until your delivery. If you need a note for your employer to support this recommendation, please contact our office or send us a portal message.

You should continue to obtain prenatal care as recommended by our providers.

If you have any questions or are experiencing any cold-like symptoms, please call our office directly BEFORE coming in.
