Sometimes all Bundaberg mum-of-two Tiffany Kelly wants is to get out of the house.

That’s why she loves bringing her boys, including three-month-old Tye, along to IMPACT Community Service’s free Meet the Midwife sessions.

Each week between 10am and midday, experienced and friendly midwife Klare Craven-Hughes takes time to answer pregnancy and birth-related questions.

She also holds a monthly forum.

It’s a great chance for pregnant mums-to-be and those who have recently had a child to get expert guidance in a setting that’s secure and confidential, yet also informal.

“I’ve been a midwife for more than 18 years,” Klare said, while nursing young Tye.

Often there’s a big turnout as mums, like Tiffany, not only catch-up with Klare but also form friendships and networks amongst themselves.

“It’s really good for me,” Tiffany said.

“My two older ones love to play, while I get out of the house and can speak to people, and Klare is very knowledgeable.

“Everyone gets on so well.”

The sessions are held at IMPACT’s 108 Bargara Rd site.
