*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 02/17/2022
A three-evening event with 15+ expert panelists on pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and life with a baby!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

This isn't a webinar! It's an info-packed, interactive event designed to empower parents with a baby or one on the way by answering questions you may not even know you should be asking.

Join us for 1, 2, or all 3 nights, depending on where you are in your parenting journey and what you want to learn.

Hosted by Babies & Bumps, Evenings with Experts will feature 15+ panelists who have dedicated their careers to supporting new and soon-to-be parents. Just like our in-person events, Evenings with Experts is designed to connect you to valuable resources before you need them and facilitate real conversations about all aspects of having a baby.

We were highly intentional about the panelists we invited to participate and the topics they're discussing, all of which was based on feedback we've received from our attendees and online community about things they WISH they had known about pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and life with a baby.

The fact is that experts like our panelists spend years becoming educated, completing/maintaining certifications, fine-tuning their craft, and learning from experience what works and what doesn't.

Yet parents are expected to become experts in mere months.

One of the challenges we hear about most often from expectant parents is they don't know where to start.

That's where we come in!

We'll talk about everything from the difference between the midwives and OBs, labor pain management options that are both natural and pharmacological (hint: there's more than an epidural!)... to the role and importance of the pelvic floor, breastfeeding and pumping, and how to prepare for the realities of the "fourth trimester."

Each night will feature a variety of experts and a deep dive into pregnancy & birth, postpartum & newborns, or life with a baby, depending on which night/s you attend. (Scroll down for topics!)

Plan to leave feeling connected, informed, and confident about the next steps in your parenting journey!!

Register for one, two, or all three nights!

 

TIMING:

Each evening runs from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. EST with scheduled breaks. We recommend planning to attend as much of the event as you're able to so you can soak up as much information as possible and be eligible to win the prizes we're giving away!

Evenings with Experts is an inclusive event and a judgment-free zone. Religion, sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity, trying to conceive or pregnant with your 4th, married, single, you name it -- if you have a baby in your life or one on the way, the things that tie us all together are that we want health and happiness for ourselves and our children, and that we need support to make that happen. All are welcome <3

Since 2013, Babies & Bumps has hosted 25 in-person events for new and soon-to-be parents. We've hosted two Evenings with Experts already and had an overwhelmingly positive response, so this is the first of four we're scheduling in 2022! We look forward to seeing you online this February... and at our in-person events across the country this year!
