Free Early Pregnancy Class and More Offered at Nana's

Women expecting babies can learn more about the changes their body is experiencing and how it prepares for labor during a free one-night class Tuesday, April 10, 7-9 p.m. at a new children’s clothing and toy store in downtown Dixon.

“After the initial thrill of discovering pregnancy, many women begin to experience stronger signs of their body changing but don’t really understand the magnificence of gestation,” said Certified Childbirth Educator Debra Dingman. “So many discomforts can be made minimal with proper nutrition and natural alternatives. But many times, just understanding—and having your partner understand—creates a calming effect.”

Topics covered will include nutrition in pregnancy, weight gain, your pregnant anatomy, communications with your partner, and an introduction to relaxation. A video on fetal development will also be shown. The class will also include a brief talk on the benefits of childbirth preparation.

Space is limited and reservations are required by calling (707) 678-6262 or emailing NanasDixonShop@gmail.com. Students may also register online at www.nanaandcompany.com. The class will take place at Nana and Company Children’s Boutique, 141 North First Street in

Other upcoming activities at the store include a free ‘Little People’s Story Time’ this Wednesday, April 11, and an Infant Massage class on Thursday, April 12. The subject for the children’s story time is ‘babies’ and registration is required for the infant massage class. More information is provided on the website or by phone: (707) 678-Nana.
