I contacted the local chapter of Il Melograno in Mentana just outside Rome soon after the birth of my daughter to enquire about activities in the area. The sessions I attended were a great opportunity to swap stories and share doubts and concerns with other mums in a caring and supportive environment. The association also has a good selection of books for loan on all aspects of pregnancy, birth and early childcare and members are available for consultation on their specific area of expertise.
