AboutKidsHealth.ca
In response to the growing need for an online information resource that is evidence-based, trustworthy, and current, the SickKids Obstetrics/Gynecology Team and the AboutKidsHealth team of health professionals, medical writers, illustrators, animators, and designers have developed the new Pregnancy & Babies Resource Centre at http://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/pregnancy. The Pregnancy & Babies Resource Centre has been organized to follow the natural course of pregnancy and baby development, from preconception, through pregnancy and birth, until the baby’s first birthday. The material in this Resource Centre has been written in collaboration with obstetricians, embryologists, paediatricians, psychologists, dietitians, lactation consultants, and nurse practitioners affiliated with The Hospital for Sick Children.

Mission Park Chiropractic Inc.
“A Place for Family Wellness”. With over 30 years experience, Drs. Louise and Mike Desaulniers provide chiropractic care for the entire family, from birth to transition. We work closely with your nervous system, checking the integrity of your nervous system with the newest of technologies and then removing any blockages/interferences, which then enable your body to heal and function as it was designed to do. The birth process often causes the first ‘subluxation’ (nerve interference), therefore children from birth on will benefit from chiropractic care. We are open 6 days a week and offer family plans allowing the whole family to reap the benefits of care in an affordable way.
