Becoming: A Pregnancy Circle

Community & confidence building for folks early in their pregnancies

Join Christine Gibson & Sarah-Grace Sweeney as we create space for connection with other pregnant folks and guide you on your path to an empowered and embodied pregnancy & birth . We are all doulas and lactation counselors, and have supported hundreds of families through their childbearing year.

This 6-week virtual group meets on Thursdays at 7pm EST. Each week will begin with a planned activity or educational topic to get us started, before we open up for questions and sharing about changing bodies, birth biases, safe exercise, and planning for postpartum. Group is geared to pregnant people in the first and second trimester, and may be also be beneficial for those who cannot afford a private doula. We’ll have a WhatsApp group to stay in touch and answer questions.

We’ve set a suggested donation of $100 for all six weeks, but you are free to pay any amount that’s comfortable and doable for you. We won’t turn anyone away based on ability to pay, as long as we have room. We will be donating a portion of the total proceeds to an organization working towards reproductive justice, receipt of which will be sent to group participants for accountability. The rest is split equally amongst us.
