Following the success of the wellbeing groups that ran in Gloucestershire and Bristol throughout Lockdown 3, we are pleased to announce we are running 6 more groups in Gloucestershire, beginning in June 2021. The groups take place every week for 6 weeks. Using creative activities, walking, fresh air and lots of chat, the group aims to enhance your wellbeing and connect you with other local mums. Details of how to book are below!

What you've managed to provide for us all has been beyond any expectation. I think it is such a huge testament that we all want to carry on meeting up, to continue to support each other and have a much needed giggle and place to be!

A collective poem, by the mums of the Spring Moreton-in-Marsh wellbeing group
|
Nobody told me how difficult sleep deprivation would be – especially with post partum.
Or how anxious I would be Or how rewarding it would be to be smiled at And how much they enjoy learning. Nobody told me what an amazing dad my husband would be – he’s like a duck to water About the problems with baby reflux Or that I’d be scared of having two children on my own Or that I would like the smell of nappies. Nobody told me how long it would take to recover after giving birth Or how much your priorities change - in a good way That I’d be so forgetful Or that I’d stick with breastfeeding as long as I have. Nobody told me how one smile can make your day – no matter how hard it’s been. Or how much I’d forget and have to write down what I do each day That I’d feel this much dislike for my child and smash my chopping board because of it Or how much love I’d feel for my children – it’s a double sided chopping board… |
