The Parent Collective

Prenatal & new parent programming that creates your community. Giving birth to a baby, whether it’s your first or third, is an exciting and nerve-wracking time.

You have millions of questions that only experience can answer, but with the right support, these anxieties can be laid to rest to help you feel that you can do this! Many people turn to hospital classes and training sessions, but we think that this misses a crucial emotional ingredient that can make having a baby less isolating and more inclusive. The Parent Collective is designed to provide information, foster open discussion and establish connections among couples living in close proximity. Our hope is that these classes will create a social network for parents in their community, offering playmates for children and a crucial support system.

proving that, even if your n*pples look like fingers, getting your baby to latch ain’t easy 😂

That’s where we come in.

In our Prenatal Education Series, we teach you how to breastfeed AND bottlefeed. We cover latching on, pumping, milk storage, feeding schedules, and more, so you can feel “properly trained,” as Ali says, before your baby arrives.

We promise it will be way easier than parallel parking. 🍼

Join our in-person classes in major cities throughout the U.S. or online via Zoom. Comment “BABY” and we’ll send you the booking link, or head to TheParentCollective.com.

A few things that might surprise you about c-sections...

• You’re typically awake and can meet your baby right away
• It’s still considered major abdominal surgery
• Movement during recovery is just as important as rest
• You’re probably going to need more emotional, physical, and mental support than you’ve been planning (ahem, DM this to your birth partner!)

We talk through all of this and more in our classes, so you can go into birth feeling informed and confident.

Save this if you found it helpful, and stay tuned for episode 6!

Hot take: On the difficulty scale, labor < logistics once your baby is home. 🫠

Most expectant couples prep for birth, but faaaar fewer plan ahead for things like, “Who’s gonna walk the dog?” “Um, what are we gonna eat?” and “How TF are we going to juggle everything?!?”

That’s why we teach our students to start building their village of support NOW, well before they need it. So, when the times comes, they have backup. Buster gets his daily trot around the block thanks to the neighbor, dinner is taken care of by GMA, and Uncle Joe is taking the car in for maintenance next month.

Logistics = handled.

Learn more hot takes from our prenatal & postpartum experts (that you won’t find anywhere else) in our Education Series in person or online. Comment “Link” and we’ll send you the booking link. 🔗

This is one of the MOST common Qs we get from our students! 🙋‍♀️
d.horowitz a pediatric nurse practitioner and the instructor of our Prenatal Education Series in Stamford, says, yes, epidurals CAN slow the progression on labor.

Knowing this (and why it happens) can help you time your epidural just right.

This is exactly the kind of stuff we break down in our classes. Real facts, from real experts (not some rando on Reddit... 😏).

“I didn’t realize how much I would need this community.”

We hear this a lot from our past members, and it hits deep. Every. Time.

Sure, our team of doulas and midwives want to help you feel prepared for birth and postpartum... but if you start texting each other during and after class? That’s the real win. 🙌

If you’ve taken one of our classes, help us pay it forward by sharing The Parent Collective with an expectant friend or couple. When they sign up and list your name under the “Where did you hear about TPC?” question, we’ll send you a $25 gift card to say thanks.

Sound off on your own TPC experience in the comments, and let us know if YOUR class wants a reunion retreat, too (babies invited, obvi) 🥳

You’re gonna let me take this baby???” 🤯🤯🤯

Pete Davidson just said what every new dad thinks when leaving the hospital on his new Netflix video podcast, “The Pete Davidson Show.”

When the doctors and nurses are gone and it’s just you at home with your newborn? Yeah, that’s when s #*% gets real.

We prepare expectant parents for that part… and every stage after. Join our in-person and online prenatal education classes at TheParentCollective.com.

Diapers are great, but have you tried a mom friend who texts back at 3am?

Pregnancy, labor, and postpartum are a lot easier with other moms in your corner. Tag your bestie who will go through it all with you (or already has!).

Things no one tells you about early labor: It can last hours (sometimes a full day).

Contractions might start and stop.

Your water may or may not break.

Yeah... it’s tricky like that, but we teach you what’s normal so you can stress less.

Share this with your birthing partner and check out our prenatal classes at the link in bio.
