Doubts, pressures and panic has wrapped up in the joy and excitement of a new baby and suddenly a lot of supportive non-baby-having friends have slowly drifted... I'm hoping to find new (and slightly …

This group is for pregnant or new moms in the downtown area with babies due or born between January 2013 and October 2013.
