Mellow Bumps

Mellow Bumps is for women who are 22 weeks pregnant and beyond and offers them a chance to meet other parents-to-be and support each other at this important time. 

About

The best thing to do before your baby arrives is take care of yourself.  You need time to think about how you feel. You need help with all the questions you have. 

Mellow Bumps is a chance to meet other parents-to-be and support each other at this important time. Two trained workers will help you think about how you feel about becoming a parent and get ready to welcome your baby to the world.

The six week ante-natal programme aims to reduce stress during pregnancy, help preparing for baby and start the bonding process. It can help parents get off to a positive start and create the best environment for your baby’s development and wellbeing.
