This is a list of prenatal and postnatal resources that I (and in many cases my husband too) find helpful.
Online Support and Forums:
Baby Center Canada – week by week development updates, plus active forums with communities organized by due date month
What To Expect – helpful email updates that complement the book, What To Expect When You’re Expecting
Cambridge-Kitchener-Waterloo Services:
Beechwood Wellness Pharmacy - spot on customer service, supply prescription breastfeeding creams that other pharmacies may not carry
Cambridge Pediatric and Breastfeeding Clinic - referral required for expert lactation support and pediatric services including tongue tie
Belly Buttons (prenatal and postnatal classes) – an array of affordable classes to help parents learn the “innies and outties of childbirth” from experienced moms
KW Midwifery – if you’re newly pregnant, you can easily register online and be paired with one of their midwives, plus they have a new birthing suite and are located just steps away from Grand River Hospital
Oh Baby Fitness (prenatal and postnatal classes) - “Fit Belly” and yoga classes let you exercise safely, work up a sweat and network with other moms-to-be, plus they provide guest speakers on pregnancy and parent-related topics
