Bump and Brew
Pregnancy and Postpartum Support in Lytham & St Annes - with expert guidance, real conversations, and space to ask anything.
Hosted by Birth With Choice & The Pregnancy Emporium
You’re here because you don’t want to go through this alone….
This isn’t just another pregnancy group.
It’s a room full of women who are in it… at the exact same stage as you.
The overthinking.
The googling.
The “is this normal?” spiral at 2am.
The quiet moments where you’re not sure who you even are becoming yet.
Yeah… that.
Bump & Brew is a monthly, in-person space for women navigating pregnancy and early motherhood — where you can talk honestly, ask the questions you really want to ask, and feel like you’re not doing this alone.
No pressure.
No judgment.
No “perfect mum” energy.
Just real conversations, gentle guidance, and a community that’s got your back.
Join us where you’re at and we’ll meet you right there
Bump & Brew is designed for the stage you’re in — because what you need when you’re pregnant is very different to what you need when your baby’s been born.
Pregnant
This is for you if things are starting to feel more real… and maybe a little overwhelming.
There’s suddenly a lot to think about.
Birth. Feeding. What you actually need. What you don’t.
Everyone has an opinion — and it’s a lot.
Postpartum
This is for you if you’ve had your baby… and you’re realising no one really prepared you for this part.
The emotional shifts.
The mental load.
The constant second-guessing.
The feeling of “I love this… but this is also really hard.”
Suitable for mums and babies up to one year.
Expert Sessions in Autumn
hosted by Eleanor (Birth With Choice) and Janine (The Pregnancy Emporium)
Limited to 10 spaces per session
Our next Bump and Brew sessions are all about postpartum self-care, because looking after you shouldn’t stop the minute baby arrives and “bounce-back” is BS!
Pregnant: Monday 9th November 6–7.30pm at Aura Wellness
You grew a whole human and somehow the recovery part gets a paragraph in a leaflet and a “listen to your body” from someone who definitely hasn’t listened to theirs.
This session is for the fourth trimester — the bit nobody prepares you for properly.
Inside this session:
Scar healing — whether you’ve had a caesarean or a perineal tear, we’re talking about what actually helps, what to leave alone, and when to push for more support
Returning to exercise — the real timeline (spoiler: it’s not six weeks and go), and what your body needs before you’re anywhere near a gym
Core recovery myths — we’re busting the “just do your pelvic floors” advice and talking about what core recovery actually looks like
Hormones post-birth — this is the biggie! Why you might feel absolutely everything and nothing at the same time, and what’s normal vs. what needs flagging
Postpartum: Wednesday 28th October 12:00-1:00pm at Jens Academy of Music
You just grew a whole human, and within weeks everyone’s asking if you’ve “got your body back yet”.
This session is for the bit after birth that nobody prepares you for properly: healing, feeling at home in your body again, and ignoring the nonsense.
Inside this session:
Diastasis recti: what it actually is, how to check for it, and why crunches are not the answer
The six-week myth: your six-week check is not a finish line. We’re talking about what healing really looks like after the sign-off, how to support your body through it, and when to push for more help
“Back to your original size”: why it’s nonsense, and why your body doesn’t need to shrink back into a pre-baby version to be doing brilliantly
Getting comfortable in your body again: this is the biggie! The transition from “who even is this?” to actually liking, and maybe even loving, the body that made your baby
Bring your baby and we’ll take care of you both.
Not your typical pregnancy meet up
An expert-led topic to give you clarity (without overwhelm)
Space to ask anything — literally anything
Time to chat, connect, and just be around mums who are right there with you
Always with refreshments and something sweet on the side
But more than anything?
It’s about how you feel when you leave.
More grounded.
More reassured.
More like yourself again.
Save your space
Each session is £15.
And before you think “I’ll book that later”…
There are only 10 spaces per group.
Not to be exclusive — but because this only works when it feels safe to talk.
When you’re not sat in a room full of strangers.
When there’s space to actually be heard.
So you get the value, support, and space you actually deserve.
Dates are released in advance so you can plan ahead.
But tickets for each session go live just 2 weeks before.

Honestly? It’s both.
There’s expert guidance, there’s space to ask anything… and there’s time to just chat and be around other mums who are going through the same stuff and probably have exactly the same worries.
No awkward icebreakers. No sitting in silence wondering when it ends.
-
Not at all.
First baby, second baby, third baby… every experience is different.
This space is for every mum.
-
Always.
Bump & Brew is a space where you can talk openly — about the things you’re thinking, feeling, or not quite sure how to say out loud yet.
And with that comes trust.
We gently encourage that anything shared in the room stays in the room.
No judgement. No comparison. No taking other people’s stories outside those four walls.
Just a space where you can be honest, feel heard, and know it’s held with care.
-
Many women come to the first trimester sessions because they’re not ready to tell anyone yet.
So if something changes… you don’t suddenly have to carry that on your own.
We’re here to support you however your pregnancy unfolds.
You’ll have already spent time with us — and with specialists who understand you and your situation — and we’re here to continue supporting you as you navigate whatever comes next.
Whether that’s reaching out to Eleanor at Birth With Choice or Janine at The Pregnancy Emporium, we’ll make sure you’re supported in a way that feels right for you.
-
Bump & Brew started as a free event back in 2025.
But it’s grown into something much more intentional.
A space that blends expert support, real conversation, and genuine connection - without overwhelm, pressure, or surface-level chats.
No two sessions will ever be the same throughout your pregnancy.
That’s why it’s now a paid experience.
You’ve thought about making mum friends for long enough…
Imagine meeting your village before you have your baby?
“the mums I met at Bump and Brew are now the mums I laugh about my “mum fails” with, go for pram walks with (even on the rainy days because we need to get out of the house) and will genuinely be friends for life with”
