Pregnant women are invited to register for Healthy Eating for Pregnancy, an Alberta Health Services prenatal nutrition workshop on Jan. 8 from 7-9 p.m.

The free two-hour workshop is led by a registered dietitian, providing information about foods that meet prenatal requirements to benefit the health of both mom and developing baby.

The workshop will cover prenatal multivitamin/mineral supplements, important nutrients during pregnancy, healthy pregnancy weight gain, food safety while pregnant, how much food to eat and how to manage nausea, vomiting, constipation and heartburn.

There will be time for discussion and questions.

The workshop takes place at Community Health Services, 2948 Dunmore Rd. Call 403-502-8215 to register.

These workshops are for all pregnant women, not just first-time mothers. Family members and friends can also attend. Child care is not available.
