How to find certified prenatal instructors/classes in my area

[Lucy K]

Hi all. At 8 weeks, I'm still doing fine with my gym and video workouts. However, I'm really interested in finding a local class geared specifically towards pregnant women. Does anyone know if there's a website or some other source of information that can point me in the right direction? Sheila -- I checked out your website and was so impressed with what you offer that I'm hoping there's something similar in my area. By the way, I live in Philadelphia.

Thanks!

Hi Lucy,

I would call the local hospitals, even the ones that you aren't delivering at, and ask whether or not they have prenatal fitness classes. Also, if you have a wellness center in your area, they would be worth trying as well. Hope this helps. Let me know what you find out.

Thanks for your reply, Sheila. I'll call around the hospitals (and we sure do have plenty!) and see what I come up with.

Lucy,
Do live in the city or outside? I'm in Drexel Hill, so I was wondering. I never see too many "local" girls on the site.
Take care,
Michele

Hi Michelle. I live right in center city- close to Rittenhouse Square. DH and I have been here almost 5 years, and I love it. He knew he would -- he went to school at Penn -- but I didn't realize how comfortable I would feel here. I completely feel like it's home to me!
