Mission Statement
The What To Expect Foundation provides pregnancy and parenting support to underserved families so that they too can expect healthier pregnancies, safer deliveries and happier, healthier babies.
Description
What to Expect When You're Expecting, the nation's bestselling pregnancy and parenting series, has helped millions of families from pregnancy through their child's toddler years. But our nation has the 28th highest infant mortality rate in the world -- and 50% of us read below the 5th grade level. Clearly, too many families do not know "what to expect" and can neither afford, nor perhaps read that book. Baby Basics, our book, program, and philosophy of pregnancy, parenting and health literacy has helped nearly a half million families nationwide enjoy reading and learning about pregnancy and parenting -- to build a positive cycles of health and literacy for parents and their children.
