Maternity Xchange Presents a Local Community Event for New 

and Expecting Parents:  

 

The San Francisco Birth and Baby Fair  

 

San Francisco, CA -- April 11, 2008 – Maternity Xchange, 

in partnership with Natural Resources, hosts the San 

Francisco Birth and Baby Fair, sponsored by Lori Paladino 

Photography and GetzWell Pediatrics. On Saturday, May 24th 

from 10am until 3pm at Fort Mason Conference Center, new 

and expecting Bay Area parents can attend free workshops 

and meet representatives from over 45 locally based 

companies and organizations covering everything from 

prenatal education and family finances to new parent 

support and holistic care. Admissions is $5, children 18 

and under are free. Complimentary passes are available from 

most sponsors and exhibitors while supplies last.  

 

Attendees can find out what a doula is, learn how to 

"wear" their baby, or find photographers to capture the 

unique experience of pregnancy. Workshops and 

demonstrations include Early Pregnancy 101, Birthing 

Options and Alternatives, Cloth Diapering, Pre & Post Natal 

Exercise and more. Parents also have the opportunity to 

discover local boutiques and designers and purchase baby 

clothing, accessories and discounted, brand name maternity 

apparel. There will be a free raffle with prizes donated by 

participating businesses and gift bags will be distributed 

to the first 250 families to arrive.  

 

"We truly believe in the benefits of a localized 

supportive environment for parents so you’ll find no glitzy 

baby races sponsored by multi-national corporations here." 

says Maternity Xchange co-owner, Bobbi Williams. "The San 

Francisco Birth and Baby Fair gathers members of the local 

birth and early parenting community and gives families the 

chance to discover and support the businesses and resources 

in their own backyard."  

 

"The SF Birth & Baby Fair should be one of the first 

stops for the expecting or new parent," according to Cara 

Vidano, owner of Natural Resources, a pregnancy, childbirth 

and early parenting center in San Francisco. "Pregnancy 

takes you into a whole new world that can be overwhelming 

due to the multitude of options during one's pregnancy, 

birth & early parenting days. This event will answer 

questions you didn't even know you had."

brand-name maternity clothing accessible to expectant moms 

throughout the bay area. They provide an avenue for women 

with high quality maternity clothing to sell their items 

and in turn offer affordable, mid to high-end apparel to 

expecting moms unwilling to sacrifice their sense of style 

to their impending motherhood. Maternity Xchange also works 

with wholesalers and designers to help clear overstock and 

sample merchandise. They offer this discounted maternity 

apparel to moms at their monthly Bay Area sale events. 

Maternity Xchange aims to be "The Fashionista's Place to

Your Waist, Not Your Taste!"
