Swapping

anecdotes

about baby sick

and the days when it

feels like nothing has

gone right can help banish

the image of the supermum. Both

laughter and tears can be wonderfully

therapeutic. There are lots of ways to

meet other mums locally through the NCT

our antenatal and postnatal Early Days courses, postnatal teas, playgroups and events. You can find out more about what we offer parents locally through the NCT website (www.nct.org.uk/branches/clapham or by following us on Facebook.

It is also worth remembering that we don’t

necessarily know what is going on in the lives of

mothers who seem to be on top of

everything. You may admire the well-

groomed mother in a local café but

inside she could be feeling like

she is falling to pieces.
