Pregnancy Education

What can I expect during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is filled with lots of uncertainty. Vida Parent Support Services offers a parent education/material support program where moms and/or dads are matched up with a mentor who will support them and provide one-on-one lessons on topics like:

First, second, and third trimester education
Nutrition during pregnancy
Labor and delivery education
Infant hygiene and care
Postpartum depression and emotions
Breastfeeding education

We also offer one-on-one consultation with a:

Vida Medical Clinic nurse who conduct free one-on-one labor and delivery classes for expectant moms.
Vida certified lactation counselor who provides free one-on-one breastfeeding education and lactation consultation.

While learning, moms and/or dads will earn credit, which can be spent in the Little Dear Boutique (our in-house store.) Our boutique has items like strollers, diapers, wipes, clothing, baby shampoo, formula, and other hygiene items for parents. If you are in need of gas, bus tickets, food or housing, we can help connect you to other community resources too.

What should I do if I think I'm pregnant?

If you think you might be pregnant, the next step is to take a pregnancy test. Vida Medical Clinic provides confidential lab quality pregnancy tests at no cost to you. Request a pregnancy testing appointment today.
