    Expectant mom’s guide

    The resources that every NYC parent-to-be needs!

    Welcome to New Stork City!

    Aside from the surprise food-cart smells that can send a first-trimester mom-to-be running to the nearest coffeeshop restroom, New York might be the perfect pregnancy town. Craving penne puttanesca or matzo ball soup? Odds are it can be delivered to you, stat. Need some pampering? Take your pick of the spas here that specialize in treatments for moms-to-be, like soothing belly masks and all-natural mulberry-lemon facials. And whatever you need to buy—be it a maternity wrap dress, a Stokke stroller or a set of midcentury-modern nursery furniture—it’s all within easy reach. Of course, you have to know where these resources are. That’s where our Expectant Mom’s Guide comes in. The editors of Time Out Kids have combed the city to provide you with an at-a-glance reference to all the shops and services you’ll need. So worry about D-day—for everything else, we’ve got you covered.

    Expectant Mom’s Guide writer Marisa Cohen is the author of Deliver This! Make the Childbirth Choice That’s Right for You...No Matter What Everyone Else Thinks (Seal Press, 2007) and a mother of two in Greenwich Village.




    What NYC food did you crave during pregnancy?
    (Very) early decisions: It’s too soon to apply for kindergarten, but go ahead and sign up for these programs.
    Safety patrol: Infant CPR classes.
    Shopping for two: There’s no denying that having a baby changes everything—including the way you shop. Here’s where to save and splurge.
    Body language: Just because your newborn is preverbal doesn’t mean he has nothing to say.
    Treat yourself right: How to pamper yourself back to a state of maternal bliss.
    Work it, mama!: Drop the baby weight with some of the city’s top pre- and postnatal workouts.
    Group dynamics: At a new-mom support meeting you can find that sympathetic friend who will save your sanity when your baby goes on a nursing strike.
    How to get an extra hand: As soon as you come home with that new baby, you will feel completely overwhelmed and at least a little incompetent. Hey, it happens to the best of us.
    Maternity madness: New York City parenting has its own set of rules. Antonia Kidd is here to help you navigate them.
