Weekend Birth Ed Series: Expectations vs Reality

Pregnancy and postpartum aren’t always what people expect — and too often, families are left unprepared for the physical and emotional rollercoaster that comes with it.

This free weekend session is here to change that.

Join us for Expectations vs. Reality, a real-talk birth education experience that goes beyond baby showers and belly bumps. We’ll unpack what happens to the body and mind during pregnancy and after birth, from swelling and sleep loss to mental health shifts, mood changes, and red flag symptoms like preeclampsia and postpartum depression.

This workshop could save a life, yours or someone you love.

In this powerful session, we’ll cover:

• What’s normal, and what’s NOT, during pregnancy and postpartum
• Early signs of serious conditions like preeclampsia, anxiety, and depression
• How to advocate for yourself or a loved one in medical settings
• How families and partners can recognize warning signs and offer support
• Tools for building a village before the crisis hits

Whether you're expecting, just had a baby, supporting someone who is, or want to be better prepared for the future, this is essential information every family should have.

Bring a friend. Bring your partner. Bring your mom. Because we all know someone who's expecting, and we all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe, supported, and informed.

Let’s replace silence with support. Myths with facts. Fear with power.
This is how we protect our families — together. 💛
