Pregnancy Support Group

You're preparing for your baby. Let's make room to prepare for you too.

There is so much to get ready in pregnancy. Antenatal appointments, the hospital bag, the nursery and everything your baby will need.

But how are you really feeling? The worries you carry, the fears about birth and the thoughts you haven't said out loud matter too.

The Mum Confessions Pregnancy Support Group is a safe space, led by a therapist, where pregnant women come together to talk, learn and prepare for the emotional side of motherhood.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

What you get:

• 2 Pregnancy Support Group sessions
• Your own Pregnancy Support Workbook (PDF) to keep
• A therapist guiding every session
• Practical tools to manage worry and prepare for birth and the weeks after
• Other pregnant women who understand what you're going through
• 
  

What we'll talk about

1. The emotional side of pregnancy: mood changes, worry, uncertainty and feeling overwhelmed
2. Pregnancy anxiety: making sense of your fears and learning practical ways to manage worry
3. Preparing your mind for birth: your hopes, your fears and what could help you feel more ready
4. Preparing for postpartum: what to expect in the early weeks and how to plan your support
5. Identity and relationships: how pregnancy changes the way you see yourself, your relationships and your expectations of motherhood
6. Building your support system: the people and help you can lean on before and after your baby arrives

This group is for you if:

• You're pregnant and want to look after your mental and emotional wellbeing
• You're a first-time mum with questions about what to expect
• You're feeling anxious in pregnancy or worried about birth
• You've been through pregnancy loss, a difficult birth or mental health struggles before, and want extra support this time
• You want to prepare for life after birth
• You'd like to meet other pregnant women and have a space to talk

You don't have to be struggling to join. You can come because you want to prepare and give yourself the support you deserve.

Whether this is your first pregnancy or not, and whether you're in your first trimester or nearly ready to meet your baby, you are welcome.

Your baby matters. You matter too.
