Back in 2005 my partner Mark and I went through our first miscarriage. In a new town where we knew hardly anyone and family was too far away to be there in support, we found ourselves feeling very alone with no one who understood the pain we were going through, no one who knew the emptiness and pain we were feeling. After the initial falling apart period I decided that rather than complain about the lack of support I would set about to DO something about it. Hence the website Circles of Love was formed.

I wanted to create a site where ladies could talk amongst themselves without fear of judgement. I wanted a site where people could relax and discuss things, that perhaps they can't talk about with other people. But most of all I wanted somewhere that people could get support when they need it. In fact, if I was to sum Circles of Love in one word, that word would have been SUPPORT.
Mark and I were to go through 2 more miscarriages before going on to have a successful pregnancy that would result in identical twin girls. But that doesn't take away the pain that we went through and it was some of the friends I made, that helped me to get through it.

However, Circles of Love was outgrown - the baby became the adult and now we're looking at moving forward into the future and exploring what else we are capable of . I am lucky in the fact that I have people who have come onboard to help us with this transition and we look forward to bringing you a bigger and better forum

For those trying to conceive, it is one of the hardest times in a couples life.  Here you'll be able to talk to other people going through the same experiences and hopefully support each other through the disappointments and the triumphs.

For those of you who are pregnant - congratulations on your precious bundle. We look forward to sharing the next 9 months, hearing your progress and awaiting that exciting day.

Then there are us Mums with young children.  It's fun sharing the moments in your childs life with other people who share the same passion as you.

The aim of MUM is to continue to provide the support network for ladies trying to conceive, going through a pregnancy, or the raising of our precious children and beyond. It is also about how as Mums we understand what Mums go through.

What we eventually would like to be able to do is be able to provide some of the basics when you are looking at TTC, because lets face it, things can get quite daunting at times. We also hope provide congratulation packs when an active member has just given birth, or sympathy packs when the worst happens and someone loses a much loved and wanted baby. At one stage or another, we all need to know there is someone there who will listen......someone who cares.

We want to be able to extend a helping hand to those who need it.
