Whether you’re a new or experienced mother, uncertainty will happen. There are

help centers available for young women to get the support, education, and physical

needs met. They assist the mom with proper hygiene care, physical activity exercise

and nutritional needs for both mom and baby to insure they have a healthy baby.

We have worked very closely with our center director to provide nutritional

curriculum lessons from the Healthy Choices for Every Body/ Your Pregnant Body,

and if you are expecting or have a newborn, the materials can encourage you to

continue on the path of being as healthy as possible, during and after you deliver.

We started with the Healthy Choices for Your Pregnant Body, and followed up with

Healthy Choices for Every Little Body,

Eight participants meet each week at the center, bringing their ideas and solutions to

help with heartburn, upset tummies and those cravings that can get overwhelming

at times.

After the seven weeks, we asked the mothers what they gleaned from the

curriculum that was presented. Four mothers to be said, by choosing foods low in

Fat, Sodium and those hidden sugars in foods, they were able to maintain a healthy

weight throughout the whole pregnancy.
