Postpartum Support Group Luncheon

The period following the birth of your baby, known as postpartum, is a time of rapid physical and emotional adjustment. This is the time in which your body returns to its pre-pregnant state. Emotionally you will be adjusting to the many changes your new baby brings to your and your family's lives. Our Postpartum Support Group is made up of doctors, nurses and new moms, who meet every Wednesday at the hospital to discuss experiences, provide support and share information with each other while enjoying lunch. If you - and your baby - are interested in attending the Postpartum Support Group Luncheon, call 443-777-7427.
