Houston Postpartum Peer Support Group | Free Support for New Moms
1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month. No cost to participate.
We know that caring for a newborn can make your own needs feel like they come last. Who has time for mental health when squeezing in a shower feels like a win? But hear me out—our group is different.
You can join half-awake, still in your PJs, curled up on the couch. The hardest part? Just keeping track of the day so you don’t miss the meeting. But don’t worry—I’ll send you a reminder. 🙂
Why Join Our Houston Postpartum Peer Support Group?
Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest—it’s also tough. Between Instagram ideals and Pinterest perfection, it can seem like everyone else is mastering motherhood while you’re just getting by. But the reality is, no one has it all together, and it’s time we started talking about it. Having a baby can flip your world upside down. Sleepless nights, constant diaper changes, and around-the-clock feedings can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Babies are adorable, but they don’t come with a manual, and figuring things out as you go can be exhausting. If you’re tired of pretending to have it all together and want a space to connect with other moms who get it, the Houston Postpartum Peer Support Group is for you. Here, you’ll find:- Support: Moms who are in the same boat, facing similar struggles
- Validation: A space to be real about how hard this can be
- Encouragement: We’re all in this together, and we’ll help each other through
