The Birth of a Mother
After all the preparation and hard work, the child is born, and with it,
THE MOTHER
But who supports the mother in her new crucial role? She may have family, friends but they may have their own busy lives. She may live in London far from any relatives, her partner probably works long hours to allow them to live in the capital city: she may work long hours too, inside or outside of the home. They say it takes a village to raise a child so in the absence of the village we have Mindful Mothering in Muswell Hill. A monthly support group for mothers at any stage of mothering; whether you are pregnant, have a baby, a toddler, a school-age child, a home-schooled child, a teenager, multiples or a combination of all. We are all in this together. Mindful Mothering evolved after many chats with mum friends in the playground, in the bar, at some bouncing baby class or other, when I realised that we as mothers need all the support we can get!
