Pregnancy Questions from New Orleans Area Parents

How do I prepare for hurricane season while pregnant?

Hurricane season (June-November) requires serious preparation during pregnancy. Create an evacuation plan before your third trimester, identify hospitals along evacuation routes in case of labor, stockpile prenatal vitamins and medications, keep medical records and your OB's contact info accessible, and evacuate early if ordered (don't wait). If you're in your ninth month during peak hurricane season, discuss contingency plans with your doctor.

When should I tour maternity hospitals in New Orleans?

Schedule tours during your second trimester, around 20-28 weeks. Ochsner, Touro, East Jefferson, and other area hospitals offer maternity tours. Consider proximity to your neighborhood (New Orleans traffic and flooding can impact travel times), NICU availability, insurance coverage, and whether your OB has privileges. Some families tour both Eastbank and Westbank hospitals.

Is it safe to eat seafood during pregnancy in New Orleans?

Louisiana seafood is a dietary staple, but pregnancy requires caution. Avoid high-mercury fish (king mackerel, tilefish, shark). Limit albacore tuna to 6 ounces weekly. Cooked Gulf shrimp, crawfish, crab, and catfish are safe in moderation (12 ounces weekly). Skip raw oysters completely during pregnancy due to bacteria risk. Avoid seafood if flooding or water contamination has occurred. Discuss Louisiana-specific seafood safety with your OB.
