Pregnancy Awareness Month {+ Britax Giveaway!} #MayPAM

April 29, 2012 By

May is Preg­nancy Aware­ness Month (some­thing I’ve very aware of right now at almost 28 weeks along! ;) and it’s all about “inspir­ing women dur­ing preg­nancy with edu­ca­tional ini­tia­tives spot­light­ing nutri­tion, well­ness, and all around nur­tur­ing.” P.A.M. was estab­lished in 2008, with the goal of empow­er­ing, inspir­ing and build­ing a com­mu­nity of sup­port for expec­tant women and families.

With cur­rently being preg­nant with baby #3, I am very aware of how impor­tant it is to be empow­ered and edu­cated about the myr­iad of top­ics & options related to preg­nancy and birth (and beyond into par­ent­ing in gen­eral).  In addi­tion, I know how impor­tant it is to have a good sup­port sys­tem! My hus­band and fam­ily have always been great, but there was a time (espe­cially when Big Brother was a new­born & all the strug­gles I had with breast­feed­ing) when I felt like I didn’t have as much other mom/community sup­port. It can be a rather iso­lat­ing feeling!

So, I felt it was impor­tant to share about Preg­nancy Aware­ness Month with you!! This year, the kick-off event is Sun­day, May 6  at the Skir­ball Cen­ter in Los Ange­les (and I so wish that I was going)!

This is a FREE EVENT for preg­nant women, new par­ents, new grand­par­ents, and fam­i­lies with young chil­dren! There will be panels/sessions full of valu­able infor­ma­tion & resources, some of the top com­pa­nies in the baby indus­try, and even a Mommy Pam­per­ing Spa. And, it’s all hosted by Cather­ine McCord, Josie Maran, Lisa Loeb and Anna Getty! So, if you’re in the Los Ange­les area, you should def­i­nitely check it out!

If you’re like me and sadly not in the area, you can fol­low along with the live stream­ing cov­er­age.  Or you can check out some of their other events in other areas of Cal­i­for­nia, Chicago and Atlanta. Plus, you can fol­low along on twit­ter (using the hash­tag #May­PAM) and on their Face­book page! They’re hav­ing some great twit­ter par­ties and run­ning some fab­u­lous give­aways! And, speak­ing of giveaways…

GIVEAWAY! Has Ended!

One lucky Mom Endeav­ors’ reader will receive a BRITAX Acces­sories pack­age (value $55+) that includes Kick Mats, Head & Body Pil­low, and EZ-Cling Win­dow Shades. All items are uni­ver­sal (can be used with prod­ucts other than BRITAX)!

WINNER:

Con­grat­u­la­tions to lucky com­ment #6!!! :) Car­rie, enjoy all these great car accessories!!

To Enter: CLOSED!

1. Just leave a com­ment telling me what kind of resources are/were most valu­able to you dur­ing pregnancy!

Get extra entries (leave a sep­a­rate com­ment for each):

2.  Share about this give­away on the social media chan­nel of your choice, then leave a link to your “share” in the comments.
3.  Fol­low Mom Endeav­ors on Twit­ter.
4.  Fol­low Britax on Twit­ter.
* If you’re not already a fan, I would love for you to like Mom Endeav­ors on Face­book. How­ever, that unfor­tu­nately can­not be counted as a give­away entry.

(up to 4 entries per per­son: if you’re already fol­low­ing, thank you! Just make sure you leave a com­ment & let me know!!) Give­away will end on May 5th at 10pm PST. Win­ner with a valid entry will be selected at ran­dom using random.org and be noti­fied via email (win­ner will also be posted on this post). They will have 48 hours to claim their prize before a new win­ner is selected. Open to U.S. Res­i­dents, 18 years and older.

Dis­clo­sure: I was not com­pen­sated for this post–it’s just a topic that I thought was impor­tant & wanted to share. Britax is a spon­sor of PAM and pro­vided the give­away.

    The inter­net was a huge resource for me while I was preg­nant. There are so many great web­sites with so much infor­ma­tion. With the next one, I will take advan­tage of the great preg­nancy apps too!
