As a soon-to-be first time mama, you always want to make sure you’re taking the necessary steps and precautions to ensure you’re being safe for you and the baby during your pregnancy. However, when you throw in things such as a global pandemic in the mix, those precautions are most definitely heightened.
Being pregnant during COVID-19 has caused me to become extremely more cautious and conscious about my surroundings, as well as preventable germs and illnesses. Throughout my pregnancy, I’ve found myself taking those extra steps to ensure I’m keeping myself and baby girl safe. Pregnancy causes women to naturally be more susceptible of illnesses and germs because our immune systems aren’t as strong as they normally would be if we weren’t pregnant, so doing whatever it takes to make sure we’re protected is my #1 goal.
In making sure I’m being cautious in helping to prevent germs and illness from spreading within my home, I’ve incorporated Lysol® Germ-Cast™, a daily tracker that monitors the spread of illness within your area, into my daily routine. Lysol® Germ-Cast™ lets you track daily levels of COVID-19 and the flu within your area, and uses an interactive map to do so — I mean literally how convenient and right on time is that! Regardless of where you may live, there are germs all around you, so it’s important to arm yourself with the knowledge needed to help keep everyone around you protected.
Lysol® Germ-Cast™ gives you detailed statistics for both COVID-19 and the Flu on the following:
Rising cases within your area
# of new cases within your area
Total # of cases within your area
Three week flu forecast
Rating of the rate of new cases (low, moderate, high)
Using Lysol® Germ-Cast™ to help me stay up-to-date on incident levels within my area has not only helped me protect my home ahead of the baby’s arrival, but it’s also allowed me to make informed decisions on visitors I’ll allow around Harper once she arrives!
