Led by Caitlin Dougherty and Sheyda Foroudi, NYC doulas and friends who bonded during their own postpartum journeys, this warm and inviting support group is designed for new birth parents seeking connection and understanding during the fourth trimester.

Each week, we’ll explore topics you are currently navigating including birth, postpartum wellness, baby care, relationship dynamics, and identity shifts. Together, we’ll create a safe space to share laughter, tears, and the realities of early parenthood.

Come find comfort, community and inspiration on this wild ride we call postpartum.

What past participants say…

  • "Sheyda and Caitlin created a beautiful space to allow for gentle, knowledgeable guidance (from them) and connection with other new moms during this vulnerable period. I was so grateful to have these weekly meetings that offered me a community and sounding-board throughout this amazing but oh-so-tough transition. I hope every new mom can find such a community."

  • "I’m grateful that I participated in the group. It definitely helped lessen negative spirals in the early weeks and made me feel less isolated."

  • "While having a child is magical, it is also indescribably challenging for the birth parent and all the pre birth preparation in the world still won’t fully prepare you for the experience of giving birth and then navigating the first few months. Connecting with other new birth parents via this support group was hands down the most helpful thing I did for myself. It provided a sense of normality amid all the chaotic emotions and made me feel less alone and crazy. Having such a safe space (provided by the experience of Sheyda and Caitlin) to share my story and thoughts, and listen to others going through similar experiences was like a lifeline. Thank you!"
