Wanted:Newborn baby items/equipment

[Paam]

Hi,

I am currently pregnant with my 1st baby and I am looking for the following:

1. Advice on where I can have pre-natal classes in Helsinki,Espoo and Vantaa areas in English, as my neuvola only has the classes in Finnish.
2. Baby stroller or Travel system: suitable from birth preferably with carrycot
3. Car seat: suitable from birth, lightweight
4. Moses basket
5. Any other suitable items in good condition

Contact: farfalla17@hotmail.co.uk

Kiitos/Thanks

During my first pregnancy in Finland in 2009 I attended a free birth preparation and early parenthood class in English which was part of the national health system. At the time I was living in Helsinki and the class was offered twice a year with limited spaces. It was held at the Herttoniemen terveysasema by Patricia Siljama - the contact number I had for her was 09 31055216 (between 12:00 and 13:00). She's probably worth trying to contact. During my 2nd pregnancy in 2011 I was living in Espoo and nothing was offered - whether this is because it was my 2nd pregnancy or that I am now in Espoo, I don't know.

I hope that helps,

Deborah
