Did You Know: Only 5% of babies are born on their due date

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of babies don't arrive precisely on their due date. Instead, most are born within a week of the expected date, with some being born significantly earlier or later.

While nine months is typically referenced as a timeframe, the timing of a baby's arrival isn't an exact science, which is why readiness in the weeks leading up to and following the due date is so important!

It’s Week 1 of National Nutrition Month! This week the focus is staying nourished on a budget. One easy way to start is by growing your own produce.
