Mothers on Mondays, Session 2: Do's and Don'ts of Pregnancy
Do you have a bundle of joy on the way? Do you want to learn more about what to expect during your pregnancy, trimester by trimester?

We will shed some light on pregnancy do’s and don’ts, with an emphasis on safe exercises you can continue with during your pregnancy, foods you can enjoy, and medications that are safe to consume. We will answer some frequently asked questions of safe practices during pregnancy, to ensure healthy outcomes for both mother and baby.
