Resources for Pregnant and/or Low Income Residents

The CDC reports that women who take opioid pain medications should be aware of the possible risks during pregnancy. 
Possible risks to your pregnancy include:
  • Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS): withdrawal symptoms (irritability,
    seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and poor feeding) in newborns3
  • Neural tube defects: serious problems in the development (or formation) of the fetus’
    brain or spine
  • Congenital heart defects: problems affecting how the fetus’ heart develops or how it works
  • Gastroschisis: birth defect of developing baby’s abdomen (belly) or where the intestines stick outside of the body through a hole beside the belly button
  • Stillbirth: the loss of a pregnancy after 20 or more weeks
  • Preterm delivery: a birth before 37 weeks
