Community Based New Mom Groups
There might be support groups in your community. These could be at hospitals, community centers, libraries, or through social media. These are wonderful ways to connect with other moms in your area. Be mindful that members of these groups will most likely have had uncomplicated pregnancies and births. They may not understand some of the difficulties that surround birth trauma and surviving an AFE.
