The Parenthood Space – Supportive Postpartum Group
A space for parents to connect, reflect and feel supported
Becoming a parent brings joy, deep love, big practical change — and a lot of unexpected emotional shifts too.
The Parenthood Space is a welcoming, supportive space for parents after birth to meet others, talk about how parenthood feels, and find connection with people who get it.
This isn’t a baby group — the emphasis is on supporting you as you navigate life after birth. Babies are warmly welcome, and while we care for them too, the focus of these sessions is your experience as a parent.

There’s no obligation to continue after the free session on 21 January.
What to Expect
The Parenthood Space runs as a 4-week pilot block, with one session per week. Each session has a gentle theme linked to life after birth, helping guide conversation and reflection, while leaving space for the discussion to unfold naturally.
You can come and:
• Meet other local parents going through similar changes
• Talk about identity, expectations, support, confidence, challenges and joys
• Share birth stories if you want to — or simply listen
• Reflect alongside others who understand this stage of life
This is adult-centred conversation and connection, not activities for babies — but babies are absolutely welcome. Feeding, settling, changing, and responding to your baby’s needs is all completely normal here.
Why It Matters
Life after birth can feel overwhelming — mentally, emotionally and socially. Becoming a parent doesn’t just change your daily routines, it reshapes your sense of self, priorities, relationships and how you see the world. Many parents experience shifts in identity, confidence and support needs that aren’t always talked about publicly.
The Parenthood Space gives you an intentional moment to slow down — to meet others, share stories, gain perspective, and feel seen in your experience.
What Makes These Sessions Different
• Baby-friendly but parent-centred — the focus is on you
• Warm, welcoming atmosphere with adult conversation
• No singing, sensory play or baby-led activities — this is about you as a person
• Gentle weekly themes to guide reflection
Weekly Themes
Each week focuses on a different part of the transition into parenthood, with topics such as unspoken challenges, birth experiences, confidence, and finding your feet.
Who It’s For
The Parenthood Space is for parents after birth — whether you’re weeks, months or further on. You’re welcome with or without your baby. This is a supportive space for real talk about parenthood, identity, relationships, wellbeing and connection.
