Understanding the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Today, women make up half of the workforce and an increasing number of them are choosing to continue working during pregnancy and shortly after childbirth. It is important that pregnant women are given the opportunity to support their families without compromising their own health or the health of their baby. The government has recognized this need by implementing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (“PWFA”) on June 27, 2023.

Dear Women, There are health, physical, and emotional benefits for both mother and child, of spacing your children's birth. A woman should wait until her last child is at least 2 years old before getting pregnant again. Some of these benefits include: • Mothers will have more time to breastfeed and care for their children. • More time for the mother’s body to recover and prepare for the next pregnancy. • Feeding the baby only breast milk for the first 6 months helps to space births in a way that is healthy for you and your baby. • A mother will have more energy and be less stressed out. #Cdhing #Childspacing #Contraceptives #HealthyWomen
