Each class is 2 hours in length, and runs for 3 consecutive weeks.

These 4 areas work together to make healthier moms and babies during pregnancy and throughout all stages of life.
L.E.A.N. Expectations is based up on research and was developed by "America's Pediatrician," and best-selling author, Dr. William Sears, in collaboration with ther experts in fields of nutrition, health, and parenting.
HEALTHY snacks will be provided (and recipes given out) in each class.
What does it mean to have a L.E.A.N. pregnancy?
L.E.A.N. isn't about being "skinny." it's about being healthy!
This program helps moms:
-

-
Gain the right amount of weight by eating the right kinds of nutrient-dense foods and avoid foods that are high in saturated or trans-fat and sugar
-
Take care of their bodies through exercise
-
Pass LE.A.N. principles on to their children
L.E.A.N. Expectations is a series of educational workshops that teach those preparing for pregnancy, expecting and nursing mothers how to care for themselves and their babies. The program is made up of three separate workshops, each two hours long, that can be taken in sequence or individually. Dr. Sears’ years of pediatric experience make each class relevant to moms in all stages of pregnancy, whether they are carrying their first baby or their fifth.
Prepare RIGHT Now – Turn your pregnancy into a healthy new beginning
This class focuses on the lifestyle, exercise and attitude choices vital for a healthy pregnancy and covers what to avoid during pregnancy and what expectant mothers should start doing to prepare their body for a healthy birth. In addition, expectant mothers will learn about the importance of attitude (good mental health) throughout the pregnancy and strategies for coping with stress. The practical strategies taught during this class will assist expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy, and even beyond, as they create and maintain a healthy, satisfying lifestyle.
Eat RIGHT Now – Experiencing optimal nutrition during pregnancy and beyond
This class teaches how to incorporate healthy eating into everyday life, not only while pregnant, but also throughout the years ahead. Expectant mothers will learn what foods and nutrients they need to eat more of during pregnancy and while nursing. They will also learn what foods to avoid to feel better physically and provide their baby with all the nutrients needed for safe, complete development.
Live RIGHT Now – Making a smooth transition from pregnancy to motherhood
This class focuses on how to live a L.E.A.N. Lifestyle after the baby is born. Mothers will learn how to bond with their baby and how to parent with less tension and more ease. They will also learn about the importance of good nutrition and exercise in the months after giving birth, and about the need for intentional self-care as they grow into motherhood.
