Natalie

Natalie and her husband found out they were pregnant and were very excited to welcome the new baby to their life. Though they were young, both only 23 years old, they wanted to start a family and felt financially secure enough to raise a child.

Still, they did not have family in Summit County and were the first of their friends to become pregnant. A little scared and worried that she had a lack of support and knowledge, Natalie called FIRC for advice. FIRC provided a free Bright Beginnings home visit for Natalie and her husband, giving her much needed information about the pregnancy, what she can expect the first of months after birth, important information on development and other resources available in the County.

FIRC remained in touch with Natalie and found she and her husband felt more prepared and excited to be parents. Natalie can still use FIRC and Bright Beginnings as a resource and she can schedule two more free secondary home visits over next the two years to ensure she feels continually prepared.
