Parenting & Pregnancy Partners
Education and community-building for parents
How it works
Visits begin when you are 12-18 weeks pregnant, after your first appointment with a midwifery provider. Sessions are every two weeks through your pregnancy and a few months after your baby is born. We meet at the same place where you get your regular prenatal care.
Key features of the program:
- Learn more about about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.
- Connect with other parents who are going through the same experience.
- Ask questions and talk about issues that are important to you.
- Discuss topics including nutrition, relationships, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and more.
If you are interested in participating, talk to your provider at your next visit.
