We know that birth and becoming a mum can be a life changing and difficult transition, full of wonder, love, reinvention and challenges, tiredness and anxiety. We also know that you, the mum, often get lost in the sea of baby stuff.
We want to make sure new mums have a space where they can come and talk, listen and be heard, on topics that are all about them.
Join us every month to eat cake and talk about this brilliant journey we are on
Becoming Mums is a free, informal, friendly group that meets once a month to talk all things YOU.
Every month Becoming Mums members meet to discuss a different topic. We choose things that are about us as mums, our experiences, feelings, challenges and discoveries. In the articles section you will find a write up of what we have talked about each month.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their stories for our Parenting in a Pandemic piece. We are covering one a week for 3 months due to the response we got, all absolutely incredible pieces that show the honesty behind lockdown, what we encountered along the way and where we are now. We have decided (unless the author has requested to not be anonymous) that names and details will be withheld and have left it to them to come forward if they'd like to and if they feel comfortable.
