Stay Connected
Staying connected to people in a similar life situation as you—or those who have been there in the past—is one way we can show love for ourselves. Life is much more manageable when we have our village helping us, but sometimes we have to be willing to go find our village. Below are some groups that we love.
The Lactation Vacation Facebook Group
Postpartum International Facebook Group
Mindful Mama’s Facebook Group
Nextdoor - an app that connects you to people in your neighborhood.
Tips for any support group:
Search for working moms groups, stay-at-home mom groups, single mom groups, etc. You can search [your city] mom’s. Most cities have one!
Reflect on if the moms group(s) you have joined is(are) serving you - i.e. do I feel better or worse after reading most things in this group. What kind of support is actually helpful for me right now? Do I need advice, validation, or friendship?
Never give out personal information!
