The women look forward to comparing how their babies are doing, sharing what's happened each week in their babies' lives. Jennifer Foeller, who gave birth to her son, Robby, in May at St. Anthony's, lives in a relatively isolated area of Jefferson County. I wanted to talk with other new moms and compare what stages they're going through. I told two other new moms about the group, and they're going to join. It's a great support system.
All new moms are welcome, no matter where they delivered their babies.
Refreshments are served. We discuss a variety of topics, including infant massage, health and beauty, time management and family issues. The group takes an active part in selecting topics that are of interest to them. Lisa Davidson of south county boasts the group's oldest baby, Vincent, born at St. Luke's Hospital in October 1998. It's also nice for me to meet other parents, get their views and see how they react to what their babies do.
