I'm new to the area and this is my first pregnancy...
I am looking for any good baby stores or classes anywhere. Also any discount maternity stores?
Re: I'm new to the area and this is my first pregnancy...
Here are two consignment materinity stores -
http://www.belliestobabies.net/
http://www.nineconsign.com/
I've been to Bellies to Babies with a friend and they seemed to have a pretty good selection. You can also rent nicer dresses there if you have a wedding, etc. to go to and don't want to spend the money to buy a nice dress in maternity.
Clothes Mentor has maternity. Sometimes the prices are better than at the stores that specialize in maternity consignment.
What kind of classes? Birthing? You will find a variety of classes depending on what type of expierence you are looking for. I would check with the hospital you intend on giving birth at (assuming you are going to go to a hospital).
The childbirth collective is a great source of information.
Congrats and good luck!
My fav baby stores:
Uber Baby - St Louis Park
Baby on Grand - St Paul/Hopkins
USA Baby - Richfield
Pacifier - Mpls
Classes: ?Blooma
