Belly Babes was formed by a Manhattan mom who was sick of being told what pregnancy is “supposed” to be like.
During my pregnancy I endured very serious potentially life threatening pregnancy complications. I spent six months on bed rest, had to take a long term medical leave from work and spent countless days in the hospital, but through it all I was determined no matter what this bump threw at me to stay healthy, keep my sanity and still crawl out of bed each day and look and feel fabulous.
Throughout this whole adventure I began to think of ways to provide support and information to other pregnant women to help them survive all the challenges pregnancy can bring while still feeling good about themselves and adjusting to all of the changes these nine months can bring.
During my pregnancy I was chosen by the New York Film Academy to be featured in their documentary on Manhattan moms to be. I have been actively involved in the Manhattan mommy scene and after speaking to many expectant mother organizations I have put together this group to help all of us pregnant mamas get through whatever pregnancy throws at us!
I am currently a licensed family and children’s therapist and continue to practice in NYC.
