Launch of the "Pregnancy and Birth Group"

Today I was the first get together of the "Pregnancy and Birth Group". It was a lovely group - small and friendly. We were privileged to have two fathers join the group (usually it's only women that are able to come) - two babies were less than 2 weeks old. We heard stories of hospital and homebirths, both the positive and negative was talked about. Stories enable us to compare experiences, review our own experiences and plan for future births. Stories also enable us to work through our own experiences, particularly if they were an unexpected outcome. I believe that sharing stories and experiences is so important for expectant and new parents. The support between everyone was just fantastic. It has spurred me on to advertise the group in the local community. The next topic planned is "Gentle Parenting" and it will be facilitated by Denise Love. Time 10am to 12noon. If interested please phone me on 9873 1750. The details for the rest of 2007:
