Support Groups

Guiding Star Siouxland is proud to offer a variety of peer-led support groups!

  • 4th Trimester Circle – The fourth trimester is the period of time from baby’s birth until three months of age. This time frame mother and baby go through so many changes and adjustments. This time and beyond can bring a lot of questions and concerns for parents. The 4th Trimester Circle has two options for support:
    • In-person meetings 9-11 a.m. Monday at Guiding Star Siouxland support parents with these questions and concerns. Each of these meetings are led virtually by our IBCLC lactation consultant, feature a weigh clinic for baby and provide a space to share and explore ideas. All children and parents are welcomed.
    • On Facebook to support parents with these questions and concerns.
  • LATCH Breastfeeding Support Group – LATCH is a vitural support group through Facebook for breastfeeding moms in Northwest Iowa to support each other in their breastfeeding seasons. It is a place for encouraging peer education. We also have lactation consultants available for support.
  • Pregnancy and Infant Loss – Experience hope and support from our knowledgeable staff and schedule an appointment with our counselor.
  • Hopeful Hearts Infertility Support Group – Hopeful Hearts is an online support group for those who are in the “waiting” period, or on a journey of infertility. We hope that this group can be a place of encouragement and support.
