Nurturing Parenting Prenatal Families focuses on improving the quality of life for the pregnant person, their partner and the relationship. Parents learn about the dangers of smoking, drinking and use of legal and illegal drugs while pregnant. Parents also learn about proper nutrition, fetal growth and development, and healthy brain development.  

Parents will increase their skills and knowledge about:

• Handling stress and anger.
• Handling weight gain and body issues. 
• Preventing drug-related birth defects.
• Nurturing themselves and their partners.
• Keeping their bodies and babies healthy.
• Encouraging healthy brain development.
• Understanding fetal growth and development.
• Maintaining a healthy sexual partner relationship.
• Understanding the importance of nurturing touch and infant massage.

This 14-week class is for the pregnant person and their partner or other adult family members.
