One of the perks of being pregnant (besides being able to eat crazy food and blame it on cravings) is the chance to bond with other parents. During each of my pregnancies, I chatted with moms and dads at classes, playgroups, and expos. Don’t get me wrong-these things were fun. But nothing compared to Well Rounded NY‘s Tips By Trimester event.
With its all natural mattresses and sleep products, Coco-Mat’s Soho store was the place to be for new and expecting mothers. With great food, mocktails, and organic vitamin enriched juices from Bundle Organics, moms were treated to a great time and a comfy spot to rest their baby bumps.
We learned about Le Sportsac’s cute new baby bags, got information about childbirth education classes, birth and postpartum doulas from Birth Day Presence, and picked up samples of stretch mark massage oil from Weleda, a skincare company that’s kept its products natural and organic since 1921. The Serchant Team (of Million Dollar Listing fame) was there to help us find new spaces for our growing families, and expecting moms were introduced to registry must haves resuable, BPA free Bunky Bag and Sun & Sea, with adorable layette sets and accessories.
Danielle of Dellah’s Jubilation caught me enjoying a massage from Yadira of Priv, a new network that delivers services to your door. From nails to fitness, makeup, massage and more, Priv’s team of professionals bring the pampering to you–which is perfect for busy moms who may not have the time to get to the salon.
Author, acupuncturist and herbalist Aimee Raupp discussed key information about the products we put on our skin, letting us know that whatever we put on our bodies is absorbed into our blood stream within 30 seconds. Aimee gave us advice about the best position for sleeping while pregnant, and showed a technique for relaxation.
Maternity maven Latham Thomas shared from her book, “Mama Glow:A Hip Guide to Your Fabulous Abundant Pregnancy,” and explained baby’s development in the last trimester. Latham gave us the tools to take back our motherhood, telling us that a big part of being a mom is learning how to say no and empower yourself.
The evening ended with a $350 gift basket giveaway from diapers.com. Whether you’re in your first trimester or fourth trimester, if you’re able to make it to a Well Rounded event, you’ll have a great time!
