Pregnancy Education

Pregnancy and parenting are filled with lots of uncertainty. Bella Support Services offers a mentoring program where moms and/or dads are matched up with a mentor who will support them and be their teacher. Mentors are seasoned parents. Simply put, they meet you where you are on your journey through pregnancy. They will provide one on one lessons on topics like:

  • fetal development
  • nutrition during pregnancy
  • discomforts
  • emotions
  • preparation for breast feeding and baby care

Mentors will work with clients to schedule appointments around a mom or dad’s busy schedule. We also offer one-on-one consultation with a nurse experienced with labor and delivery, and a lactation counselor after delivery. While learning, moms and/or dads will earn credit, which can be spent in the Molly’s Boutique (our in-house store.) Our store has items like strollers, car seats, diapers, wipes, clothing, baby shampoo, formula, and other hygiene items for parents. If you are in need of gas, bus tickets, food or housing, we can help connect you to other community resources too.

Can the father of my baby or child come with me?

Can a dad receive services without the mother of the baby or child?

Yes. Dads can come for support, mentoring, and education.

How long can I be in the program?

Can I bring my baby or child with me to my appointment?

Is a visit to your clinic confidential?
