Motherhood is an exciting time in any woman’s life, but it is also often an intimidating experience for first time moms. Between the host of prenatal health advice, regular check-ups, family and friends’ concerns, and preparing space for baby at home there are a multitude of things on any expectant mother’s mind.

Now toss in the unexpected news that your baby will be born with Down syndrome. A million questions come rushing to mind. What does that mean? Will my baby be healthy? What special needs should I know about? Can they go to a regular school? Can they live a normal, happy life? Will the world accept them?

Enter the New Mothers Luncheon, an event designed for expectant and new moms to meet, swap stories, and share concerns, obstacles, hopes, and dreams for their babies.
