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.
