nice to talk about this issue, thank you.
One of the best sessions – thank you! - Come again
- Really good session. Very useful!! A++++++ Thanks.
- Session could have started earlier or perhaps a fortnightly group session to be able to chat about stuff such as depression etc…
- Thank you Gina. It has helped to offload some feelings that are sometimes hard to discuss elsewhere.
- Its nice to be able to share and listen to other’s stories and experiences and it helps to know that your feelings are normal and that you’re not alone in feeling them
- Its nice to share feelings with other mums!
- It helped a lot and explained how I was feeling
- This session has given me peace of mind that it is not just me that has problems but other people experience the same things – and it has given me a better outlook.
- Feel that other mothers are in the same position as me. This session is very useful
- Session allowed people to let down the barriers that we show to hide our feelings – very honest group
- Personally need more discussion about my
relationship with my parents and how becoming a parent is causing me
to question my relationship with my parents. Very good discussion otherwise.

- Feel less guilty about asking for help
- To be able to speak more openly about my feelings to the other girls in the group
- Not to be so hard on myself. Not consider that all new mothers are coping and feeling differently to me.
- Speak more openly about my true feelings, rather than putting on a front. It helps knowing that I’m not on my own and there is support around me.
- Yes I will think about my friends feelings and not just their babies
- Ask other mum’s how they are rather than their babies and listen to their answers.
- I can’t do it all I’m only human
- To remember that I am a good mum and not
perfect. I am lucky for the support I receive
