A LITTLE SPACE FOR YOU
You deserve to feel heard.
And held with kindness.
For the feelings that are hard to say out loud. For the days that look nothing like you imagined. There is room for your story here, exactly as it is.
You can want this baby and still find pregnancy hard.
There is room here for the feelings you thought you weren’t allowed to have. You don’t have to put on a brave face to deserve kindness.
A little support →Postnatal depressionYou deserve to be cared for, too.
When everyone is looking at the baby, it can feel as though no one sees you. Your feelings matter here. You don’t have to be coping beautifully to be worthy of care.
A little support →Support after miscarriageYour loss matters. So do you.
We are so sorry you are here for this reason. Whether your pregnancy was known to everyone or held quietly in your heart, you deserve tenderness, time and someone who will listen.
A little support →You don’t have to prove that it’s hard.
There is no comparison to win and no right way to tell your story. Whether you need words of comfort, a way to explain how you feel, or someone to talk to, you are welcome here.
These pages offer a place to begin, with connections to established support services. You deserve care that listens to you as a whole person.
