The website has a forum for discussion. There are branches of the association all over France and an independent association in Rennes. Visit the website for more details on locations.
“It seemed to us important to remember that the maternal feeling, what we call “becoming mother” can take time and require specific therapeutic support.“

There are occasional group meetings at Café Clochette, a very relaxed kids friendly space which holds lots of activities for new mums and kids. (Sara Plumier)
I went along to Maman Blues because i was having trouble coming to terms with being pregnant. I was surprised at the support which everyone gave me and i am now feeling a lot better and looking forward to the birth of my little boy (Emily le Beaux)
