LOCAL RESOURCES
On this page we curate a list of locally-owned and -operated businesses related to pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting. Each photo links to the business or organization's website and the list is alphabetized by business name. Did we miss something? Please email us!
Please note that while many wonderful businesses serve the Durham and Chapel Hill area, we have limited this list to those based out of our towns, to keep it manageable and truly local, at least for now.
