Auntie Natal was founded in 1980 by Cathie D. Morales as
Informed Childbirth Perinatal Education Outreach Program
(ICPEOP), and the name was changed in 1990 to Auntie
Natal.
ICPEOP early pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and
postpartum classes were piloted at Booth Memorial Center
in Los Angeles, California, in 1980.
 
Classes are designed to begin in early pregnancy, and
continue throughout pregnancy, and have been taught to
pregnant mothers and fathers from 12 to 45 years of age,
from married professionals to non-traditional childbearing,
since 1980..
 
ICPEOP Teacher Training Program was developed and
implemented in 1980.

Dr. Thomas H. Brewer often wrote that
nutrition is the one area a pregnant
mother has the most control: her kitchen.

  • According to Dr. Brewer, a good
    diet of wholesome foods every
    day may help you have a healthy,
    comfortable pregnancy. 2

  • A good diet may help you grow a
    healthy placenta for your preborn
    baby. 3
Formation of the Placenta

The placenta is a fetal organ belonging
to a preborn baby.  
The placenta begins to form about 11
days after conception and permits the
transfer of oxygen, nutrients, and waste
products between mother and preborn
baby.
