Take a Pregnant Pause in New Jersey for Mother’s Day!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Take a Pregnant Pause for Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day, the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalitions of Cumberland and Salem Counties are asking moms-to-be to take a pregnant pause—from alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs.

Avoiding these substances is a fail-safe way to prevent certain birth defects that are lifelong, permanent, and irreversible. It’s also easier than ever, thanks to the Pregnant Pause Beverage Blast recipe book, a free resource with 20 alcohol-free cocktails for pregnant women.

The Beverage Blast book and other pregnancy health tips will be the focus of two upcoming Pregnant Pause events this May.

Friday, May 16, 2008

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Annual Community Day

110 Cohansey Street, Bridgeton

Thursday, May 22, 2008

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Memorial Hospital of Salem County

310 Woodstown Road, Salem.

Both events are co-sponsored by the Southern New Jersey Perinatal Cooperative and the New Jersey Coalition for Prevention of Developmental Disabilities, with funding support from the Governor’s council on the Prevention of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities.
