Welcome Baby Prenatal Nutrition Program

We are committed to creating environments that meet the needs of all our members, therefore there may be differences in what groups offer. Details are included with each listing below.

Prenatal nutrition group hours and locations

Attending an in-person group is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet and get to know other people, talk with a Registered Nurse and Registered Dietitian and enjoy a snack together. Continuing to attend after you have your baby provides the opportunity for your baby to meet other people and a great way for you to spend quality time with your baby.

Online group
