The goal of this program is to increase the knowledge and understanding about the changes in a woman's body during pregnancy.

How do I enroll?
Call 1-866-451-8194. You will speak with an intake coordinator who will go over the program and set up an appointment with a Registered Nurse (RN). During your appointment, a Health Assessment will be completed. The assessment takes about 15 minutes. At that time, you will also be notified as to which path you will follow, Low Risk or High Risk.

Is there a time limit of when I need to enroll?
Yes, you must enroll by 24 weeks gestation or the end of the 2nd Trimester, but it is more beneficial for you and your baby to enroll as soon as you find out you are pregnant. This allows you to use the information, resources, and support the program offers throughout your pregnancy.

Are there any incentives for participating in the program?
