[ozmidwifery] Sexual Abuse Support Groups for Birth/Parenting

2006-11-05 Thread abby_toby 
I would recommend www.joyousbirth.info too. Especially the forums. There are 
lots of amazing women on there that offer unconditional support and many have 
been through it.

Love Abby

[ozmidwifery] Sexual Abuse Support Groups for Birth/Parenting

2006-11-05 Thread Kelly @ BellyBelly 








I was wondering if anyone can please pass on any details (e.g.
names, numbers, websites) of specific sexual abuse support groups for women who
are pregnant or new parents. I want to pass on some details to a new mum who is
struggling with breastfeeding, wanting to give it up as it is causing
flashbacks of her abuse. I am seeing more of this and would like to create a
list to pass on to others in future. Many thanks in advance.
