MOTHERS UNCOVERED/LIVESTOCK

‘How was the birth of your baby…?’ Many mothers struggle with the answer to that question. They feel grateful to have their baby, but the memories of the birth often keep coming back. They might be angry, or sad, or guilty or ashamed that they did something wrong, didn’t try hard enough. They may be suffering physical as well as emotional pain.
All these feelings are valid. Birth trauma has been in the news a lot recently. It’s something we at Mothers Uncovered are well aware of. A traumatic birth can impact a mother for a long time, meaning her transition into motherhood (matrescence) is that much harder.
We are running three sessions for mothers to come together to share their stories. Led by our peer supporters, these sessions are suitable for whatever birth you’ve had. Sometimes you just need to process your experience. You can be at any stage of motherhood, it’s not just for first-time mums.
Babies of up to 15 months can be brought to the session. You can come to as many of the sessions as you would like.
