PRENATAL GROUP
For first time mommies, those little humans growing in your belly can come with many questions and uncertainties. A prenatal group is always a good source of information and should you be on your checklist before baby arrives. On January 9 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m at the Parent Link Centre there will be a Cochrane Prenatal Health Group which will be sure to put you at ease come the big day. There will be plenty of information about nutrition, healthy pregnancy and birth as well as finding various community resources to help you along your new journey in life. Stop in and make connections, have a support system and walk away with knowledge. The session is put on by Alberta Health Services and is free to all. Register at 403-851-6146.
