Pregnancy is such a unique phase of life and can be empowering and fulfilling but also overwhelming and emotional. For international families navigating a new system of care, pregnancy can bring up a lot of questions, anxieties, and heightened feelings of isolation. 

This is a peer support group and does not serve as a childbirth education course or as a source of medical advice or information.

Topics covered include:

• The emotional ups and downs of pregnancy and postpartum

• Relationships with partners, extended family, and friends—setting boundaries and asking for help

• The transition to parenthood and shifting identities

• Expectations, worries, and sources of support for the postpartum time

Here’s how it works

• This is a 4-week group that takes place Tuesdays 10:00-11:30.

• Meetings take place on Zoom.

• The group language is English. 

• Maximum 10 participants + 1 facilitator

• Sliding scale fee for participation for those who are able to contribute financially. The group is open and welcomes everyone, regardless of ability to pay.
