Expecting and New Mom’s Talk

As a guest of the Motherhood Center, you are invited to our weekly Mom’s Talk Group which will give you the opportunity to connect with other moms and moms-to be, get support and learn from one another’s experiences. You can share your concerns, questions, joys, challenges, experiences and practical tips. Discussions will cover everything from pregnancy, body image, sleep deprivation, infant development, breastfeeding, pregnancy and baby blues, relationships, childcare choices, new identity, regaining your sense of self, and much more. In a safe, supportive environment we will explore many of the practical as well as emotional aspects of motherhood. Feel free to bring your baby, a brown bag lunch, your friends. There is no fee or pre-registration for this group, we just want you to come and create new relationships, friends, playgroup buddies, or just share with us the everyday frustrations or overwhelming joys of motherhood. Mom's Talk is FREE!

Support Groups Testimonials

"The support group has given my confidence as a mother and a place to vent and find answers. Without the support group, I would be lost, and depressed. I love coming and meeting other mothers and talking and listening and giving advise."

"The support group has been a great, warm, welcoming space.  I come to destress, commiserate and get tips from the other moms.  I've also made some great friends through the group.  All in all, it's a wonderful service that you provide.  Don't stop!  Spread the word far and wide."
