| - I've only been to Modern Milk once at this point for a prenatal yoga class, but so far so good! Their store is pretty large, and they have two big classrooms for everything from lactation and birthing classes to classes on getting your baby to sleep through the night! I just came into my second trimester, so I'm still fairly early on, but my husband and I plan on taking advantage of several of these classes in the next few months.
They have two single-stall bathrooms that are large enough to bring in a stroller and still use the restroom comfortably. Not to mention, both of them have really nice changing tables and diapers for you to use while you're there. It's just overall an incredibly mom/baby-friendly place. Their prenatal yoga class is awesome as well! It's a wonderful way to stretch out but not overly exert yourself, and the instructors are really sweet and relaxing. The other thing I love about these classes is the feeling of comfort you get by being surrounded by other pregnant moms. For the first several weeks of pregnancy, it's been a struggle for me to accept my changing body. I'm used to being in really good shape with good muscle definition, but pregnancy definitely changes things. It's harder to exercise, harder to eat healthy, just harder to get out of bed in general. But being in this class surrounded by women who are going through the exact same thing you are, and being in an environment where everyone is embracing their changing bodies and the miracle of building a baby was way more empowering than I thought it would be. I left my first class feeling really confident in myself AND my body for the first time since I found out I was pregnant, so for that reason alone I encourage any pregnant mama to try this class out. It's great for body AND mind, and it's a wonderful way to connect with your baby in a different way.
