            GTA Families Love the Award Winning Mother To Be Expo!

            Canada’s Touchstone to Balanced Life

Angela was overcome with emotion as she told Quality Of Life Omnimedia that this was her first pregnancy and her first time ever winning anything.  “This was an amazing show.  I got so much information, a gift bag, a gift certificate worth $50 and I won the stroller!” 

 

It is best to register in advance at www.mothertobeexpo.ca.  You may also call 416 945 8315 but registering on-line will give you free admission for your family (save $3 per ticket) and a free 2 year subscription to Parents & Kids Magazine and one additional free door prize ticket.  The door prizes at every show location are many and quite valuable.  At every show the high ticket item might include a stroller, high chair, travel blankets.  There are also countless toys, Canada’s top parenting books and more…

 

The presenters for the stage show are the most respected in the industry.  This is why the crowds to the show have more than doubled this year.  Expect to see over 300 expectant parents at each location.  You will be treated well though, with comfortable seats and even refreshments at some, but not all locations.

 

It’s an INFORMATION AND PRIZE PACKED evening of exclusive pregnancy technology and wellness news. 

 

It is where you can talk to Canada’s top pregnancy, wellness and childbirth experts.  If you live in the Greater Toronto Area make sure you register for a chance to have them entertain, encourage and inspire you.   If you need information about choosing a doula or lactation consultant you will meet and hear her speak with competence.  Many aids to a pain-reduced childbirth are presented.  You will also learn the best way to help a baby with infant colic.

 

They highlight of the evening is the infant first aid demonstration, presented by Red Cross.  They have been at every Mother To Be Expo for many years.
