2nd Trimester Pregnancy: Foundations + What to Expect

Date: Wednesday (select a date when you choose your tickets)

Time: 5:00–6:30 PM

Location: 1018 Germantown Ave. Suite 100 Philadelphia, PA 19123

Led by: Emma Andriotis

This engaging and supportive 90-minute workshop is ideal for expectant parents in their second trimester (15+ weeks) who are looking for guidance, connection, and practical tools to navigate pregnancy with more confidence. Whether you’re newly into the second trimester or further along, this session offers a thoughtful blend of evidence-based education and emotional reassurance.

In Foundations + What to Expect, we’ll explore the changes that come with the second trimester—from physical symptoms and hormonal shifts to prenatal appointment timelines and essential wellness practices. We’ll cover basics like nutrition, hydration, rest, and gentle movement, while also introducing pelvic floor awareness and tools to support your mental health and early bonding with your baby.

This is the first session in a 3-week rotating series, but each workshop is designed to stand alone—so you’re welcome to drop in any time that works for you. Classes are warm, inclusive, and flexible, offering space to ask questions, connect with others, and feel truly supported in your journey.
