Pregnancy and parenting are joyful, but they’re also overwhelming, isolating, and sometimes just plain hard. That’s why we offer warm, welcoming prenatal and postpartum support groups where real connection happens. Whether you’re navigating sleep deprivation, new parenting roles, breastfeeding challenges, creating boundaries, or big emotional shifts, there’s a space here for you.
Led by experienced facilitators and experts in their field, our groups provide a judgement-free zone to ask questions, vent, laugh, cry, and build lasting friendships with others who truly understand. You don’t have to go it alone, and around here, you never will.

Not sure where to start? Our visual journey map can guide you through each trimester and postpartum phase with classes, groups, and services mapped to your timeline.
In the very first month, your body is already working hard, even before you see that positive test. Fatigue, emotional swings, and subtle symptoms are all part of these early days.
Though the world can’t see it, your body is changing rapidly. Nausea, fatigue, and food aversions are common as your baby begins to grow.
Your emotions may feel unpredictable, as joy, worry, excitement, and fear often overlap. These feelings are normal and valid.
Your belly starts to show, and your energy may begin to rebound. With these changes come new questions about your body and your baby.
Registry planning, baby names, and nursery ideas might feel exciting or overwhelming. Remember: this is your journey—do it your way.
You may look calm and glowing on the outside, but inside, you might be processing fears or pressures. That’s okay, space for both is allowed.
As the third trimester begins, your body feels heavier and sleep may get tricky. It’s okay to lean on others and ask for help.
Hospital bags, birth plans, and visitor lists grow, alongside worries about labor. You don’t have to carry it all yourself.
Every twinge makes you wonder if it’s time. Protect your peace and trust your body’s timing.
Healing takes time. Pain management, bleeding, and latch issues are common. Lean on your support network and ask questions.
You’re finding your rhythm. Feeding routines and return‑to‑work plans take shape.

We know joining a new group can be a big step. Here are some common questions to help you feel more prepared and comfortable.
Prenatal education classes are structured, topic-focused sessions designed to build knowledge and practical skills around pregnancy, labor, birth, and early postpartum. These classes follow a curriculum and emphasize evidence-based information, tools, and preparation for both the birthing person and their support partners.
Prenatal support groups, on the other hand, are community-centered and discussion-based. Rather than teaching a set curriculum, support groups create space to share experiences, ask questions, process emotions, and connect with local professionals and other expecting families in a supportive, facilitated environment. The focus is on emotional support, shared understanding, and building community throughout pregnancy.
Many families choose to participate in both—using education classes to prepare and gain tools, and support groups to feel connected, supported, and less alone along the way.
There's no "perfect" time! We encourage you to join as early as you'd like during pregnancy or shortly after your baby arrives, depending on the group. Building your village early means you'll already have support and familiar faces when new questions or challenges arise.
You won't be the only one.
Many of our attendees come to their first support group feeling nervous or unsure. Our facilitators are intentional about creating a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels included. Most families leave with not only new information—but new friendships, too.
Yes—most groups are baby-friendly, and some specifically include partners or co-parents. Some groups are designed specifically for parents and babies, while others welcome partners, grandparents, or older siblings. Every group is a little different, so be sure to check each group's description for who is invited—we'll let you know exactly who should come!
Not at all! Our support groups are designed to meet you where you are. Come once, come every week, or drop in whenever you need support. We're here whenever you need your village.
