Testimonials — mothers, in their own words
“This should have existed six years ago during my first pregnancy. I wouldn’t have felt so alone, insecure, and fearful of pregnancy.”
“Knowing that I could reach out at any time and that someone would answer made all the difference for me.”
“I’m a first-time mom, and this has been a unique experience for me, because I know I’m not alone.”
“When I joined this mothers’ group, I felt more and more confident and capable; it made pregnancy feel lighter. I’m so grateful to be part of this project.”
“The emotional support was just as important as the medical guidance.”
“Hearing other mothers’ stories helped me feel stronger and more prepared.”
“I am a young woman of 22 years old and I didn’t understand even half about motherhood and pregnancy. The exchange of experiences with other mothers and with the nurses helped me a lot.”
“When I got pregnant, I thought I would be incapable of many things because I didn’t have a support network. Through FC Mother, I was able to follow other mothers’ experiences, and I felt welcomed.”
“Sometimes all we need is someone to listen and say that what we’re feeling is normal.”
“Today I’m more confident about my pregnancy, knowing that despite what I’m experiencing, it’s normal and will pass. I’m grateful for the affection, empathy, understanding, teachings, and exchanges with each of the expectant mothers.”
“It’s great to know that other pregnant women are going through the same things and that it’s not just our own crazy ideas.”
“This group made me feel welcomed and understood.”
“The information is clear and easy to understand. I learned things that I didn’t hear during my medical appointments.”
