Bumps & Babies is a support group for women of all nationalities who are pregnant, or have recently given birth and need support or general child health information. We meet bi-monthly for refreshments and discussions led by a certified birth doula. This is a great way to meet other expectant mothers or find little tots the same age as yours. Come share your experiences and get the support you need. You can make new friends or partner up with other mums to form a playgroup.

There is usually a short talk about a particular topic related to pregnancy, breastfeeding, child health etc., (see Events). Although we often invite outside professionals as guest speakers, the main focus of Bumps & Babies is to hear our members' questions and concerns. Books from the BAMBI library are available to view and borrow as well.

Bumps & Babies meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month at 9:30-11:30am at Waterford Diamond
758/14 Sukhumvit Soi 30/1, Sukhumvit Road, (10th floor) BTS: Phrom Phong or Thong Lo. Donation: Members 150 baht (with membership card), non-members 250 baht.
