CentraState to Hold Baby Fair and Mommy Mingle on Oct. 25

CentraState Medical Center is holding a free Baby Fair for parents, parents to be and those considering a pregnancy on Tuesday, October 25 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at CentraState’s Star and Barry Tobias Ambulatory Campus, 901 W. Main Street, Freehold.

Attendees can meet CentraState’s board-certified obstetricians, pediatricians, family practice physicians and childbirth and parenting class instructors; and win raffles and door prizes. There also will be tours of CentraState’s First Impressions Maternity Center during which guests can learn about the experienced and caring nurses who staff the labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum units and the Colette Cipriano Special Care Nursery.

A variety of mother/baby service and product vendors will provide information and free gifts as well. Participating adults can also get Tdap shots to protect against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) for a fee of $50.

There will also be a “Mommy Mingle,” where guests can connect with women in every stage of motherhood—from trying to conceive, to expecting, and new moms—while enjoying baby-friendly refreshments. Participants can meet new friends, share experiences, and learn about CentraState’s new wellness programs for busy moms.

Something new and exciting to be offered at this year’s Baby Fair is “Ask the Expert,” where guests can speak with a trainer from the CentraState Fitness and Wellness Center and a registered dietitian about nutrition tips and how to get fit and fabulous before, during and after pregnancy.
