Pregnancy Questions from Miami Area Parents

How do I stay safe during hurricane season while pregnant?

Have a hurricane preparedness plan before your third trimester. Stock up on prenatal vitamins, medications, and non-perishable snacks. Keep copies of medical records and your doctor's contact information. If evacuation is ordered, leave early to avoid traffic. Identify hospitals along evacuation routes in case you go into labor.

When should I tour maternity hospitals in Miami?

Schedule tours during your second trimester, around 20-28 weeks. Baptist Health, Jackson, and Mount Sinai all offer maternity tours. Consider proximity to your home during Miami traffic, insurance coverage, bilingual services if needed, and whether your OB delivers at that facility.

Are there Zika precautions I should take in South Florida?

While Zika transmission in Florida is rare, pregnant women should use EPA-approved mosquito repellent, wear long sleeves during dawn and dusk, and eliminate standing water around their homes. Discuss travel plans to areas with active Zika transmission with your OB. Miami-Dade County Health Department monitors mosquito-borne illnesses.
