Motherhood often plunges us into isolation—we're at home, with kids, and getting out of the house is chaos. Then, when you do manage to get out of the house, you're tugging kids around and trying to keep your brain functioning, the diaper bag in tow, and do all the errands that need to get done. IT IS SO EXHAUSTING AND OVERWHELMING.
This is a place to meet other working women who get it. Women that are navigating pregnancy, parenting, and working all at the same time. Women that want to advance in their careers, take on more ambitious projects, and not get swallowed up in the parenting or the work world.
IT'S NOT EASY. But it's certainly better when we do it together. This is a place to meet other women who are also laugh-cry-rage-ing alongside you, who are advocating for change, and who will help lift you up on the day when two coffees doesn't quite cut it.
SO MANY QUESTIONS, LIKE: Will you still be yourself after you have a kid? Do you want to keep going with your business? Is it the right time to pivot, or do you just need a break? How long should your maternity leave be?
These are some of the questions people are asking in here. From whether or not to cloth diaper to how to decide if you're going to have a third kid, to managing the partnership with your spouse—or your co-founder, we're here for it.
The only thing we ask is that you give as much as you get. When you join, go comment generously on other people's queries and show them that you're here for them. WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN IS THE FUTURE.
Your work supports other women and supports Startup Pregnant and everything we're creating for working parents.
