Group for mothers with premature babies

Around one in ten babies is considered “premature” at birth, many of whom are born weighing less than 1,500 g.

Parents are often very worried and anxious about their baby (or their babies in the case of multiples) during this phase. Some families spend weeks or even months in hospital. Everyone is probably longing for the day when the baby no longer needs intensive medical care and they can go home with him or her.

But it is not uncommon for parents to feel a great deal of tension at home for a long time, feeling insecure and anxious when dealing with the baby. It can be frustrating and painful for them to compare their baby with others who were born on schedule. And many mothers grieve over the abrupt termination of their pregnancy or a difficult breastfeeding relationship.
The group meets once a month. Here you can exchange ideas with other mothers of premature babies. Children in their first year of life can be brought along. The focus is on the experiences and feelings of the parents, not on promoting the development of the babies.

A psychosocial specialist accompanies the group.
