June 18th: The physiology of pregnancy and childbirth.  We’ll explore how your body changes during each trimester and why our walkable city (hello, 4th-floor walkups!) is a pregnant lady’s best friend.

June 25th: Let’s talk birth preferences. Do you want a mobile labor? Immediate skin-to-skin with your baby? Find out why it’s never too early to start researching and writing your birth plan.

July 2nd: Choosing your medical provider and support team.  The secrets to finding the best OB, midwife, and birth location—along with the evidence-based benefits to having a doula on board.

July 9th: Building your village for pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Get the local scoop on prenatal yoga classes, childbirth ed, birth- and postpartum doulas, meet-up groups, baby classes, pediatricians—and the fine art of delegating to family and friends.

July 16th: Your babe. Touching and talking to your baby reduces stress for both of you, facilitates breastfeeding, and builds your newborn’s brain. And you don’t have to wait until delivery day to start bonding. Prepare to spend this very special workshop sharing your excitement, love, and touch with your little one.

July 23rd: Ch-ch-ch-changes. No doubt, new parenthood shakes things up—at your office, in your bedroom, and within your beloved network of friends. We’ll share ideas for announcing your pregnancy, planning your leave, juggling work with breastfeeding, and more.
