Even the most "uncomplicated" pregnancy can feel like anything but! You may be managing family stress; dealing with changes in your body; navigating and preparing for new dynamics with your partner; and experiencing fear, sadness, and anxiety (with or without those other more "socially acceptable" emotions like happiness and excitement).

It's so important to connect with others during pregnancy, which is why I offer a weekly pregnancy support group designed to provide community and support (see the flier below). My facilitative style is humorous and nonjudgmental, and my hope is that this group will help you feel more calm and balanced as you move toward childbirth.

Members can join at any time and are expected to attend weekly, following a pre-interview (provided there is an open space in the group). The group meets on Mondays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Blue Oak Therapy Center in Berkeley, which is near the Oakland border. If you think you might want to join, please do give me (Frances) a call at (510) 424-2548.
