Shannon M. Clark, MD, MMS, FACOG is a double board certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist and Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist focusing on the care of women with maternal and/or fetal complications of pregnancy
Shannon created her social media presence “Babies After 35” to help Moms starting their family after 35. More recently she has spent her time researching Covid-19 and specifically its effect on all things maternity. She has a wealth of resources and links to much of what is discussed in this episode on her Instagram page. We’ve also linked some at the bottom of this post.
In the episode Sarah and Shannon discuss:
• the Covid-19 vaccines and their effect on fertility
• Covid-19 and pregnancy
• the recent news with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine
• how to ask the right questions to your healthcare provider
If you are at any phase of Motherhood this episode is worth listening. Our goal with this episode is inform and educate what we know right now so that you can make a decision that works for you or your family.
NOTE: This is not “you should definitely get the vaccine” or “you should definitely not get the vaccine” episode. This is a complicated and polarizing issue and we are doing our best to provide the most up to date information.
