My first child was born in Florida, and I had a few wonderful resources for support both while pregnant and postpartum. One was a birth house (Orchid Nest in Delray Beach), which had prenatal yoga, prenatal massage specialists, educational classes, etc. They also hosted a free breastfeeding support group every week. I should add that this *wasn't* a strictly birth center/natural birth community- I had a c-section, and many of the moms I met there had hospital births and c-sections.
The second group was a moms support class called Mom's Breast Friend (naming it in case anyone reads this board and is in the Boca Raton area). It was run by two lactation consultants who also were certified in the Tummy Time method. It was a mix of an infant education class, breastfeeding support (they actually were the people who ran the free class at Orchid Nest), and just a chance to hang out with other moms in the same age range. They had a fourth trimester group, and an older infants group. I've tried googling around in the DC area and haven't found anything similar. This area has so many resources for so many things I feel like I must just be missing these groups. I'd love any recommendations you may have! |

| The Breastfeeding Center had a weekly group for different ages. I only attended one focusing on feeding but I think there are others. https://www.breastfeedingcenter.org/ |

For postpartum, PACE is the one I’ve heard about most. Still doing only virtual though according to the website.
