When I became a mom in London, I struggled with something I donāt think we talk about enough: loneliness.
Pregnancy and early parenthood can be incredibly isolating. Maybe youāre like me and far away from your support network, or maybe your closest friends just arenāt in the same stage of life. Either way, it can feel like no one around you really understands what youāre going through.
Then in London I found prenatal social clubs
People in the exact same stage of life, asking the same questions, dealing with the same uncertainty and trying to figure it all out too.
We learned together. We talked openly. We shared recommendations. We checked in on each other.
And that community made me feel so much less alone.
When I started talking to friends back in the U.S., I realized how different their experiences were.
Many had great doctors, appointments, books and endless information at their fingertips.
But they were still missing connection.
Their families might live across the country. Their closest friends might not be having kids yet. And outside of a doctorās appointment, there often wasnāt an obvious place to meet other people going through pregnancy alongside them.
We constantly tell parents, āit takes a village.ā
But no one really tells you where the hell youāre supposed to find one.
That question stayed with me.
And eventually, it became Expecting Together.
I wanted to create a place where expecting parents could find that community before their baby arrived.
A prenatal social club where couples can meet other parents in the same stage of life, learn from trusted experts, ask real questions and start building genuine relationships.
Because preparing for a baby shouldnāt just mean knowing what to expect during labor or what to put on your registry.
It should also mean having people who understand what youāre going through.
People you can text.
People you can grab coffee with.
People you donāt have to explain this season of life to because theyāre living it too.
That kind of community helped me through one of the loneliest transitions of my life.
Expecting Together exists to help more parents find it too. š¤
