Becoming a mother is one of the most magnificent experiences in the world. The nine-month wait for something so special is indeed a wondrous time. For many, the first time is always an experience filled with great joy as well as anxiety and doubts. ‘What is the best diet for me and my baby?’, ‘How many times do I eat?’, ‘What kind of exercises can I do during my pregnancy?’, ‘Are there any tips to ease the pain during delivery?’ and ‘What happens after my baby is born?’. If you have these queries too, do participate in DNA’s Baby on Board workshop – an exciting and enlightening prenatal session which promises to be a delight for all mums-to-be.
