Free Extension class offered to pregnant women

Huntington County Extension will begin a new program, Have a Healthy Baby, starting on Friday, June 13, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Have a Healthy Baby is a free five-week program that is available to all pregnant women.

In this series of classes participants will learn proper nutrition and daily physical activity during pregnancy, safe eating during pregnancy, how a baby grows inside the mother, components of healthy weight gain during pregnancy and the impact of regular prenatal care on the health of the mom and baby.

Free baby items will be given away during each class along with gift cards, if participants are eligible. Items were donated by the Extension Homemakers of Huntington County.

An optional sixth-week class is provided on safe sleeping. Pack-n-Plays will be given away during this class.

The classes will be held in the Courthouse Annex conference room, second floor. Call 358-4826 or email kdhinsha@purdue. edu to register for the program.
