The Burgeoning Belly…and Everything After



The Burgeoning Belly…and Everything After

Join Below to Become a Group Member and Receive Updates!



 The intent of the group is to create an open,honest and comfortable dialogue for women to converse on women's progression in with their bodies not only relating to pregnancy but in regards to both pre/post baby.  A lot of conversation is lost during this time and and women we should be able to open communicate struggles with infertility, hassles about birth control, the pregnancy process, how body image is effected and even the lack of unity amongst women. By perpetuating this idea of a non judgmental group where new mothers, experience mothers and future mothers can all take a breather from their family life and discuss things from baby products to episiotomy.

Since the group itself is currently so small and intimate it gives everyone an opportunity to get to know each other, learn everyone's opinions and ideas about the birth and all the things that encompass it.

In our first meeting we spent a lot of time discussing birth stories, talked about breastfedding, the competitive natures about moms, and we ended the discussion with watching a trailer to a documentary called "The Business of Being Born" to set up the next discussion on medical interventions.

The object of my group was to have it grow in numbers…initially a friends attend, then their friends, and when it turns into a bit of a bigger group I would begin looking to find sponsors who may want to contribute to these events and begin renting small spaces to host these discussions. 

For example my good friend Ghita El Kholti works for a company called Choopie that is based on baby products, I was fortunate enough to have her provide me with some giveaways to give to attendees and as my group gradually grows I will look to branch out and feature these products that can assist in the cost of running these events while simultaneously generating profits for these businesses.



The Group would feature either a bi-weekly or a monthly brochure that touches base on what was discussed in the last meeting and what to expect in the next, where to go and brief quotes from attendants. The main purpose of the brochure would be to invite other mothers to the event and to reach out to a bigger network of people. 





As the group gradually garners more and more members it will give a larger platform to discuss more serious topics related to women's right and thus creating a positive atmosphere for women to continue being part of the conversational area of being a mother but also have an active role and opinion for women's rights.
