Mellow bumps
Our team provide an opportunity for pregnant mums to prepare themselves for the arrival of their baby. This fun and friendly group which reduces stress in mums-to-be and helps them make friends with young people their age.. It is a great opportunity to get lots of information about giving birth and the first few months of being a mum in a non-judgemental environment.
