Postpartum Support Group

Everyone is checking on the baby. Let's make room to check on you too.

After birth, life changes overnight. Feeds, diapers, broken sleep, visitors and a body that is still healing. In the middle of it all, it's easy to forget about you.

How are you really feeling? Do you feel like yourself? Is there anyone you can talk to honestly about how hard some days are?

The Mum Confessions Postpartum Support Group is a safe space, led by a therapist, where mums in the first year after birth come together to talk, learn and feel supported. You don't have to carry this season on your own.

What you get:

• 2 Postpartum Support Group sessions
• Your own Postpartum Healing Workbook (PDF) to keep
• A therapist guiding every session
• Practical tools to cope with overwhelm, worry and the big changes after birth
• Other mums who understand what you're going through

What we'll talk about

1. The emotional side of postpartum: baby blues, mood swings, tearfulness and feeling overwhelmed, and when it may be more than that
2. Worry and anxiety after birth: constant worry about your baby, racing thoughts and practical ways to calm your mind
3. Making sense of your birth experience: talking about how birth went and how it left you feeling
4. Who am I now?: the changes to your identity, your body, your work and how you see yourself as a mum
5. Relationships and support: your partner, family, friends and the pressure of other people's opinions
6. Finding your way back to you: reconnecting with the woman you are beyond "mum", simple ways to stay grounded on the hard days, and hope for the woman you're becoming

This group is for you if:

• You've had a baby in the last 12 months
• You don't feel like yourself and can't quite explain why
• You feel anxious, low, overwhelmed or easily irritated
• You had a difficult birth or a hard start to motherhood
• You feel lonely, even when people are around you
• You'd like to meet other mums and have a space to talk

You don't have to be struggling to join. You can come because you want support in this season and deserve to have it. Whether this is your first baby or not, and whether your baby is 2 weeks or 11 months old, you are welcome.
