Before Baby: A Series for Expecting Parents

Expecting your first baby? Looking to create community with other expecting parents? This group will meet weekly in person at the EDCJCC (at 16th and Q) for four weeks to provide a safe space for parents-to-be to discuss their experiences and learn from one another. We will be joined some weeks by experts in a relevant field, including a labor & delivery doula and a lactation and feeding specialist, who will help us understand the range of support options and services available. Of course, we will also leave plenty of time for Q&A, discussion, and schmoozing. This session will be held on Tuesday evenings, January 12-February 2, 2027. The first and fourth weeks are intended for expecting moms only. Dads and non-birthing parents are warmly welcomed to join us for Weeks 2 and 3, and they will have the option to have their own separate session on Week 4 if desired. The group will be kept small so that connections can be fostered easily. Advance registration is required. If you have any questions or if the cost of this program poses a barrier in any way, please reach out to Miriam at mszubin@edcjcc.org.
