PEIL
The Pregnancy Exposure InfoLine (PEIL)
The Genesis Fund’s Pregnancy Exposure InfoLine (PEIL) is a confidential, free telephone information service that is dedicated to providing clinicians, pregnant women and their families with reliable information about the potential risks of exposures before and during pregnancy.
PEIL is operated by trained individuals who address concerns in a non-judgmental manner on common daily exposures such as hair dyes, paint and herbal supplements to more complex exposures including illicit drugs, medications, chemicals and more.
The InfoLine offers a way for women and their families to obtain up to date information about these questions as well as reassurance about exposures which are not associated with birth defects. Healthcare providers are also able to access our services so that they may wisely prescribe medications and educate their own patients.
To reach the Pregnancy Exposure InfoLine, please call 1-800-322-5014 for Massachusetts and 781-466-8474 (outside of Massachusetts area).
