“People spend months and years planning for their wedding,’’ said Sabrina Nitkowski-Keever, Director of Maternal and Child Health at Hudson Valley Hospital Center.
“It’s important that couples understand that the decisions they make leading up to the birth of their child can make all the difference, not only for the health of their baby, but for the quality of their birth experience.’’
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the hospital lobby. This year’s theme will be “Planning, Pregnancy and Parenting,” and will give couples practical advice on the road to parenthood even if they are not yet expecting, but just considering having a baby.
The event will feature, financial planning advisers, workshops on pregnancy and parenting and tours of our Maternity Department, as well as a “Speed Dating” session with obstetricians and pediatricians. WHUD’s Kacey Morabito Grean will host a maternity fashion show sponsored by Kohl’s department store and there will be a demonstration of the latest baby gadgets.
More than a dozen vendors will offer everything from educational information to baby-related products and services. There will also be a light lunch raffle prizes and giveaways.
