“As an OB and a mom myself, I know it can be so easy for parents to get childbirth and parenting information from places like TikTok, Instagram, Google, and Pinterest. It will be so helpful for my patients to know that they can now get their education from Tinyhood’s online classes. It is not only a trusted, vetted resource – the on-demand video format allows them to get information designed for how our patients want to learn. It is a wonderful resource.”

4. What Can You Expect with Childbirth and Newborn Care?
Whether it’s your first pregnancy or you already have children, each pregnancy, childbirth, and child’s behavior is unique. Dr. Sheetal Dedania and the Reiter, Hill & Johnson team recognize that first-time moms who understand what to expect during labor and birth feel more prepared for the experience. Also, anticipating the mental, physical, and emotional challenges of caring for a newborn can help you manage multi-faceted stress and anxiety. You will find answers to commonly asked pregnancy and baby care questions in Tinyhood’s Expecting Collection in detailed video classes and fact sheets.

“Childbirth can be scary, but having Tinyhood as a resource will make our patients feel better prepared. And, having a well-informed patient makes us understand where they’re coming from when they refuse or decline certain interventions. It helps us take care of our patients better. That is why high-quality maternal education is so important.”
Sheetal J. Dedania, MD (and mom), Reiter, Hill & Johnson of Advantia
5. How Can You Protect Your Postpartum Well-Being?
About one in eight women experience postpartum depression.

Sheetal J. Dedania, MD (and mom), Reiter, Hill & Johnson of Advantia
