What is the Buckeye Baby program?

Buckeye Baby offers a series of live, webinar-based discussions that cover a variety of pregnancy-related topics designed to support you throughout your pregnancy journey. To participate, parents-to-be should be expecting a baby. You can choose to schedule and attend all available webinars or only participate in the topics that most interest you, giving you the flexibility to personalize your experience. Each session is interactive, allowing you to ask questions and share ideas with other expecting parents. In addition to webinars, individual telephonic sessions are available upon request, including a scheduled postpartum call with a nurse or a dietitian/health coach to support your recovery and well-being.
