Beyond the Bump

A supportive group for pregnant and postpartum women who would like the opportunity to talk openly about the transition into motherhood.
About this Event

Nobody talks about the parts of motherhood that don't fit neatly into the story. The love can be there, and so can the exhaustion. The gratitude can be there, and so can the grief for the life that came before. Pregnancy and early motherhood can be wonderful, but they can also bring unexpected emotions and moments when you barely recognise your own life.

Beyond the Bump is a supportive group for pregnant and postpartum women who would like the opportunity to talk openly about the transition into motherhood. Through guided discussions, we will explore the emotional realities of this stage of life, and the pressure many women feel to be coping better than they are.

This is not a parenting class. It is a place to connect with other women and talk honestly about an experience that is often far more complicated than people expect. Along the way, we will explore practical ways to manage stress, navigate difficult emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns and create space for your own needs, while developing a deeper understanding of your own experience and the changes that come with becoming a mother
