Congratulations on your pregnancy! The months ahead are full of joys, changes and challenges. It is a time of transition shared by generations of women before you. It is also a time to learn about your body and your baby, and share the wisdom of other expectant and new mothers.
Weekly e-mails from Lamaze International feature trustworthy information, practical tips, and inspirational stories to help guide you through the next months and beyond. Lamaze International believes that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are normal and natural, and that women need support and confidence to have the healthiest birth and the easiest transition to parenthood. Lamaze also recognizes that today’s maternity care system can be confusing, and that you will need plenty of information to make the choices that are right for you and your growing family.
Lamaze International is a non-profit, mission-driven organization, so you can expect our e-mails to be different from those offered on commercial sites!
- We focus on health and wellness, not a laundry list of possible complications.
- We honor the amazing work your body is doing, and help you gain confidence in your own instincts and strengths.
- We believe strongly in your rights to safe and effective maternity care, full information and the freedom to choose or refuse tests and treatments, and care that is sensitive to your personal and cultural preferences.
- We follow a very strict advertising policy, and comply fully with the World Health Organization’s International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. (This means we never advertise infant formula, bottles, or pacifiers and follow other strict guidelines.)
- We never share your contact information with companies or third parties without your permission.
We hope your personalized weekly emails will provide support and build confidence for a healthy pregnancy, birth and beyond!
