Baby Is Coming. Now What?

 

Whether you are trying to start your family, or you’ve recently found out you are expecting a little one–this event is for you! Deciding to have a baby is a big decision, and SOO many things to learn. This event will guide you through your questions: you’ll leave with your answers, some great resources, the ability to connect with the experts, plus the confidence knowing that YOU’VE GOT THIS!

There will be speakers providing information about pregnancy, birth, newborns & beyond, a few hands-on education stations, and the opportunity to mingle with the experts and ask them anything! There is nothing we aren’t be willing to talk about, and there is no such thing as a stupid question. This is a safe space, so bring your partner, your parents or your friends, and come learn about all the things that parenthood brings, and leave knowing how to confidently approach anything life throws at you.

You will also leave with a new-parent survival kit, a reusable canvas tote bag (not the cheapie ones!) filled with valuable resources available throughout the city, expert contact information, and some awesome swag. –> so far there is over $50 worth of actual tangible and useful goodies! Gone are the days where “swag = business cards”!

FOOD:

Yes, food is included in your ticket price! I can’t very well have a ton of pregnant women hang out at an event for 6 hours and not give them something to snack on. There will be a curated selection of pregnancy-safe foods by the wonderful Daniela from MMM Chef available for a self-serve lunch* (finger foods, snacks, desserts). She is known for her willingness and ability to accommodate to almost any dietary need or sensitivity, and allergies wherever possible. At the event there will be gluten-free and vegan options, and all offerings will NOT include nuts. There will also be water available throughout the day so while it is encouraged to bring a reusable bottle, not to worry if you forget.

* ALLERGIES? You will have the opportunity to mention any allergies or dietary needs in your registration form.
