WOW what a month September was 🤩 We loved meeting so many of you at the walks and Move events, over 100 of you.

Rain or shine we've been out and about and long may it continue.

We've got busy October lined up with you, with more to come. We are so excited to see as any of you as possible.

The walks are a great place to meet other new mums and mums-to-be, and the conversations both during the walk and after have been so valuable to many mums already. The walks are pushchair friendly and have a café near by for that all important cuppa. We are also open to suggestions of new places to walk in the county, so if you have any great ideas, please let us know!

The walks are free to join in and will be happening throughout the winter. In the case of inclement weather, a decision will be made on the day if the walk will continue. However we will always meet for the all important cuppa at the start/end point so even if the walk cannot go ahead please come and see us for a brew and a chat.

Move Events

Active Mums take over the Meadows!

The Move events have proved to be extremely popular with our amazing active mums, who enjoyed 3 free, 30 minute workout sessions to music on Everards Meadows in Enderby. Rain or shine you mums came out in force and we all enjoyed a short workout!

We are planning some more events in the future, both online and in person, as well as getting our wonderful team of Ambassadors involved. There may also be some impromptu pop up events so please keep an eye on our social media accounts, especially if the weather looks good 😉

About Move classes - These are are great opportunity to test out a mum and baby class without the commitment. We do more structured exercise but, most of all have fun. Babies are welcome, if they need attention, picking up, feeding, cry, it is not a problem. We want you to be in a relaxed atmosphere where you can get some movement in between the babies schedule.

If you have not had your 6 week check (12 for c-section) or you have any pregnancy complications unfortunately it is not suitable for you. But if you are unsure at all please just ask us 😊 ask here

'Normalising' and bras!

Grab a Cuppa - Ask an expert

In September we had a lovely Chat with Chloe who is a breastfeeding peer supporter and owns a bra shop, we talked about breastfeeding, specifically cluster and how we need to normalise this a bit more. Exercising and making sure you have the right fitting bra, and why this is so important.

You can catch up on it on all our Facebook page , Insta and Spotify feeds.

Is there an expert you would really like us to get on this slot, please let us know, we are always open to new ideas.

Women meet every Tuesday at 7pm outside outside sports direct in Loughborough.
Men meet at the same place on a Monday.

We cater to mums in the Hinckley and Bosworth District but Ashby de la Zouch, Coalville and Nuneaton are not too far away either!

Our events are designed to provide local mums with a chance to connect with each other while enjoying cake, coffee and a chat.

We offer information about local group classes and relevant businesses so that you can find the support you need as a new parent. We also have a toy corner, baby gyms, a play mat and baby scales!

Around 1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mental health problem during pregnancy or within the early postnatal years.

Here in Leicestershire, the Perinatal Mental Health specialist service provides care for women during pregnancy and up to one year after childbirth. Following an initial assessment, the service can offer various treatments either in homes, community locations, clinics or via video calls. The aim is to help mothers and parents get the support they need to enable their family to live a happy, healthy life together.
