Greenville has launched a series of new support initiatives aimed at assisting postpartum mothers, including the opening of MESH Moms and New Mom School. These resourceful programs are designed to address the unique challenges faced by new mothers during the early months following childbirth.
The MESH Moms community has commenced operations, providing a nurturing environment for expecting and new mothers. One of its key features is the availability of Postpartum Pods, which are intimate, doula-led group sessions offering both guidance and peer support. The next gathering is scheduled to begin on September 5, 2025, allowing mothers to connect, share, and learn in a supportive setting. Interested participants can find registration details on the MESH Moms website.
Simultaneously, the New Mom School Greenville has been introduced to help new mothers navigate the various challenges encountered during postpartum recovery. This school offers programs that include practical guidance and emotional support covering essential topics such as newborn care. The initiative aims to build a community of empowered and supported mothers, fostering a network that values shared experiences.
On August 22, an Intuitive Movement class is set to take place, welcoming mothers at all stages of their journey. Additionally, free breastfeeding support sessions will be conducted on August 13, 20, and 27 at the New Mom School, emphasizing the importance of fostering a strong breastfeeding relationship between mothers and their infants.
For mothers who experience postpartum distress, the Nurtured Beginnings program offers therapeutic support. This initiative consists of six 90-minute sessions focusing on emotional well-being, scheduled from September 3 to October 8 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Connected Journey, located at 25 Woods Lake Road, Suite 402, Greenville. This program aims to equip mothers with coping strategies and tools to enhance their emotional health during the postpartum period.
In addition to these new initiatives, various healthcare facilities are also enhancing their support systems for new parents. Spartanburg Medical Center provides in-person maternity tours on designated dates, including August 11 and 25, as well as September 8 and 22. Furthermore, free OB hospital walking tours at Bon Secours St. Francis Eastside are available throughout August and September, accommodating both daytime and evening schedules.
The center offers classes on Prepared Parents: Childbirth and Child Passenger Seat Safety Inspection to educate new parents on safe practices. Additionally, breastfeeding support is accessible at both Bon Secours St. Francis Eastside and AnMed North Campus. Monthly infant feeding and postpartum support groups hosted by Nourish Integrative Lactation and Wellness further bolster the resources available to mothers.
Expectant mothers can also access virtual tours of Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital, with additional classes that cover Infant and Child CPR and a Grandparent Preparation and CPR course. Notably, free ultrasounds for expectant mothers are offered at Greenville Technical College, emphasizing the community’s commitment to prenatal care.
Moreover, non-profit organizations like Safe Harbor provide vital support for survivors of domestic violence, while several community resources offer parenting enrichment programs for children from birth to age eight. The overarching goal of these initiatives is to close the existing gap in postpartum care and cultivate supportive networks for mothers during this pivotal time.
