Pregnancy Circle Totnes
This is a friendly, welcoming group and offers a space for women to share their hopes and fears, to listen to one another and explore their feelings about pregnancy and birth. Sharing in this way with other pregnant women is an important part of the journey towards motherhood, as it can be very resourcing when going through this huge transformation. Sarah is a local birth and postnatal doula offers this group fortnightly from 7 – 9pm on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month in Totnes (on the other Thursdays I co-run the Totnes Pregnancy and Birth Group at the Daisy Family Centre).
The cost is £7/ £5 concession. Please call for venue and more info. |
