Pregnancy Connection & Support

Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also be a stressful roller-coaster filled with endless to-do lists. If you are pregnant and feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or having a hard time finding other pregnant mamas to connect with, this two hour group is for you. As an urban pregnant mama, you may not have other pregnant friends nearby to talk to about what you're going through. This isolation can make the normal stresses of pregnancy harder to manage. Research shows that having social support and emotional outlets during pregnancy makes postpartum adjustment easier.

In this class, you will have an opportunity to connect with other pregnant mamas, feel less alone, and start to build the valuable support system that all new parents need. My goal is to create a safe space for you to talk about whatever is going on for you in your pregnancy. Discussions topics may include identity shifts, relationship struggles, health concerns, family of origin issues, fears, sexuality, isolation, general anxiety and stress management, and self-care. With a strong focus on mindfulness, we will make room for all feelings and explore ways to bring more acceptance and peace into your pregnancy and your life as you prepare for motherhood.
