Check it Out! New Lending Library Coming Soon!

Here is the list of books we hope to purchase for our library in the next few days. We can only afford to purchase one copy of each for now. Obviously some of these titles will be more popular and multiple copies would be great to have on hand. If you are interested in making a donation to our library please contact one of the leaders.

Share this with a friend! I'll let you know as soon as it is all up and running :)

February meeting topic

Finding out you are expecting a little one is usually a joyous event.  Then in the days that follow reality sets in and you go about the work of finding professionals to support and care for you throughout pregnancy and birth. 

So how do you go about finding professionals, let alone the right one for your birth?  What works for your sister or your best friend may or may not work for you, so it is best to set up some interviews to try to get to know a potential provider before making any decisions.  Once you have those appointments set, you'll probably be racking your brain trying to come up with a list of questions to ask.

At our next meeting on February 10th we are going to help you learn how to interview providers and give you tips on how to ask questions so you can get the most revealing answers and fewer if any surprises come birth day!

The Truckee Meadows chapter of BirthNetwork National is expanding with many new projects on the horizon.  We needed to expand our web presence and creating this blog was the first step.  This will be another great way to access helpful information about us, our meetings and other mother-friendly topics.

So to kick off our new blog, we are going to have a giveaway!  I have a certificate for 5 free Musikgarten classes.  Follow or subscribe to our blog using the links on the right and then leave a comment below.  You have until Sunday at 10pm to enter :)
