WTEP stands by the principle that motherhood is the ultimate sisterhood— and all moms need and deserve our support.
OUR STORY
July 19th — On #BumpDay, we raise awareness and support so that every mom gets the help she needs to deliver a healthy start in life for the baby she loves, regardless of the color of her skin, where she lives or her ability to pay. Every mother deserves a safe pregnancy.
LEARN MOREFeeling nervous about getting vaccinated while you’re pregnant (or thinking of getting pregnant, or breastfeeding) is completely understandable — every parent just wants what’s best for their child. But that’s why Heidi Murkoff recently sat down with Dr. Anthony Fauci to ask the most pressing COVID-19 vaccine questions from parents.
