The Bite:

Almost ready to set sail to motherhood? Go sea Latham Thomas at Tender Shoots Wellness for a couple of holistic prenatal classes. Her Bun in the Oven cooking class'll show you how to balance your blood sugar and hormones with organic food - all sourced from Keith's Organic Farm in New Paltz and the Union Square Greenmarket; and her prenatal yoga classes (solo or group) will work on relaxing your "pushing" muscles so your baby will just float on out.

Why Care?:

Ingesting carcinogenic pesticides from fruit and veggies is never a good idea, and it's even less so when you've got a developing baby on board.

We're thinking about faking a baby bump for TSW's cooking classes, where you learn how to make gluten-free caramel corn with agave nectar, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries.

Wanna Try:

Tender Shoots Wellness. Mama Yoga class with Latham Thomas at Om Factory NYC, 265 W. 37th St. (212-616-8662). Yoga, $14/class.

Bun in the Oven cooking class at Kitchen NYC, address by appointment, email Tender Shoots Wellness to sign up. Cooking Class, $65/person.

Cocktail Fact

The Naval Academy graduated its first pregnant student in May 2009 - despite its policy that you can't marry or start a family during your time there.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters eat one organic meal every day for a year, we'll keep 80 baby bottles full of pesticides from pouring onto the earth.
