Hey there,
mum-to-be!
Meet during pregnancy, for support during maternity leave
Your brain might be buzzing with a million questions…
How do I prepare for labour?
Is it normal to feel like this?
Where do I even start?!
Don’t worry! We’ve got you.
Or maybe you’re hoping to make some local mum-friends before baby arrives?
Are you feeling excited, a bit overwhelmed (or both) about your pregnancy?
You're definitely not alone. Join my free, friendly Pregnancy Socials at Leoni’s, a cosy local café (privately booked after hours). A relaxed evening where you can:
Chat with others who are due around the same time
Get a handy birth tip from me (I’m a pregnancy yoga & birth workshop leader)
Ask questions, share stories, and swap local recommendations
All in a cosy, supportive space with the option to treat yourself to tasty cakes and great drinks.
Next Social:
Tuesday 2nd September
Why socials are important
With my first baby, I made amazing mum friends through an NCT group and having that support made such a difference. Second time around, I skipped antenatal not feeling like I needed them, until my baby arrived and I suddenly felt quite isolated.
That contrast is what inspired me to start the free pregnancy socials in Malton, a space to connect, share, and support each other through it all.
Come along, even if you're feeling nervous, everyone’s in the same boat. You'll leave feeling lighter, more connected, and with local mum-to-be friends for the journey ahead.
WHAT PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT THE PREGNANCY SOCIALS

"I look forward to the pregnancy socials because it’s comforting to meet other mums or mums-to-be and share experiences! First time around I met my now great friend at the social who turned out to live down the road and now we’re both expecting our second- how exciting!"

"I didn’t know many other pregnant people locally, and pregnancy can feel isolating without others to relate to. The socials were such a comfort, meeting people on a similar journey. I’ve made lovely local friendships I still keep in touch with, and it’s reassuring to have those connections for when baby arrives. So glad I found the socials through Jess!"

"Jess’s socials were so well organised and provided some helpful tips. It was so great to meet other pregnant ladies in the area. I am looking forward to expanding on those helpful tips at her birth workshop I’ve booked with my husband."

FAQs

It is totally free, but I do ask you to book ahead, just so I know who’s coming. It also helps keep the group small, as there are only 10 spots available each time.
-
They are really relaxed and easygoing. You’ll be sitting with others who have similar due dates, so there’s something in common straight away.
We usually start with quick intros, just your name and how many weeks pregnant you are. Then I share a handy birth tip to kick things off. After that, it’s all about chatting, sharing, and connecting. I’m always around if you have any questions or want to chat!
-
I totally get it — that’s such a common worry! But honestly, everyone comes feeling a little bit like that at first. It’s really welcoming and relaxed and you’ll be with others at a similar stage, so there’s always something to chat about. You’ll feel at ease in no time and I’ll be there to say hi as soon as you walk in.
-
Feel free to invite any pregnant friends along, the more the merrier! But as we sometimes chat about personal or sensitive pregnancy-related stuff, I like to keep the socials just for expectant mums. It helps everyone feel more at ease and able to share openly if they want to.

Absolutely! You’re welcome at any stage. Some people come before their 12-week scan, others are right up near their due date (and even beyond!) There’s always a lovely mix of different stages at each social, which makes the chats even more helpful and supportive.
