A women's circle for the journey into motherhood

Nobody should have to become a mother on her own.

Mothers Together is a school for expectant mothers and a circle of women who walk with you before, during and after birth. Beside it sits a barter board, where any woman can trade what she has for what she needs.

The circle and the school

Learn what's coming, from women who have been there.

Short lessons take you through each stage in plain words. Circles are small groups where you can ask the question you can't ask anywhere else, and gatherings bring you together online or around a table.

Before birth. Pregnancy, preparation and building your support.
Birth. Labor, comfort, and what to do when plans change.
After birth. Recovery, feeding, and finding your feet.
Caring for your baby. Sleep, crying, play and getting to know each other.

The barter board

Trade what you have for what you need. No money involved.

A moses basket for a week of freezer meals. A yoga session for an afternoon in the garden. The board is open to every woman, mother or not.

1
Post. Offer a product or a service, or ask for one.
2
Propose. Suggest a swap and talk it through in a private thread.
3
Trade. Meet, exchange, and both confirm when it's done.

This grew out of what friends told each other about becoming mothers.

The things that helped most were other women: the one who brought dinner, the one who said “me too”, the one who passed on the pram. We're building a place where that happens on purpose.
