Pregnancy Dialogues™ 6-week ONLINE GROUP WINTER 2024 SUNDAYS 10:00 am - NOON CST
Whether it is your 1st pregnancy or you have already had pregnancies, this village creates a safe space to connect with your baby in your womb. Pregnancy Dialogues TM is a facilitated discussion group for pregnant mothers/gestational parents to explore topics around family, partner, and infant relationships before, during, and after a new baby enters the family.
In a supportive small-group environment, mothers/gestational parents will have an opportunity to focus on
● connecting to this pregnancy and this baby,
● practicing relaxation and breathing exercises to reduce stress,
● having a dialogue with the baby in the womb and feeling the baby’s reaction,
● balancing self-care with new family dynamics and life after birth.
A primary focus of the program is to promote safety, trust, and support within a group of pregnant mothers/gestational parents sharing a similar stage in life. The program includes six 2-hours sessions with the group before birth and a follow-up group session 1-2 months after birth.
