Assisted conception, adoption or foster care support group & gentle exercise
We all have our reasons for not wanting to let on we’re going through IVF, adoption or fostering or even that the first, second or third ‘miracle’ is taking longer than expected – whether work, family or friends just wouldn’t understand or whether it’s nobody else’s business but your own
There simply wasn’t a local support group for us parents-in-waiting going through the emotional roller coaster IVF, adoption or fostering journey to talk openly, honestly and confidentially about our hopes, dreams and fears. So we established the one and only Peterborough Conception Support group, which includes IVF, IVF ICSI, egg and sperm donors, foster and adoptive parents-to-be
Come and share your journey with others in a similar position and provide support to others. Lots of laughter through the highs and lots of empathic listening ears through the lows. Lots of exchange of information and latest updates on NICE guidelines, CARE Nottingham, The Fitzwilliam Hospital (CARE Satellite at Peterborough) and Bourn Hall and much more
The group meets in Peterborough city centre on Saturday’s 10am – 12noon in semi-private settings with free parking
Most classes have either an appropriate group activity for example yoga, hypnosis for fertility or a guest with practical advice or topics of related interest
¨ Nutritionist : offering advice on vitamin and mineral supplements as well as food and drink before and during IVF cycles
¨ A practitioner of Chinese Medicine specialising in IVF and fertility offering self help secrets and exercises to get you in tip-top shape before, during and after IVF cycles
