Expecting parents need a hand to hold on their special journey through childbirth. And now, thanks to the arrival of the Maternally Yours program at Western Baptist Hospital, that hand is connected to a dedicated team of health care professionals whose goals are to provide new parents with care and support.

Maternally Yours offers many benefits to expecting families, including a copy of What To Expect When You’re Expecting; a coupon book filled with discounts from many of the area’s merchants; information on the Fit Pregnancy program at Baptist Family Fitness; and information on Western Baptist’s online Pregnancy Center, Stork’s Nest, and other helpful resources.

In conjunction with the Maternally Yours program, Western Baptist hosts a monthly dinner program to congratulate expecting parents on their good news. The dinners are held the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the atrium of Doctors Office Building 2. Guided tours are given and staff from Western Baptist’s Maternal Child Services are available for questions. To learn more, call Baptist Health Line at 270-575-BABY (2229).
