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.

An epidural isn’t just a switch you flip when labor gets intense. It’s a procedure—and timing matters more than most people realize.

To place an epidural safely, you have to be able to sit still through contractions. Some people can do that at 10 cm, our experts say. Others can’t. There’s no universal “right moment”—just your window.

Join us for our upcoming Labor & Delivery Prep Zoom Class on February 17 to learn more, including:
∙ What to know in the late stages of pregnancy
∙ The labor and delivery process
∙ Relaxation & pain management
∙ C-sections, inductions, and more

Ask your questions. Learn from experts. Potentially get reimbursed by your insurance. And, most importantly, feel confident and prepared.

Episode 1 of our new series, “Things No One Tells You About.”

During pregnancy, you can be excited and anxious at the same time. You can feel grateful and overwhelmed.

And none of that means you’re doing it “wrong.”

Prenatal anxiety is incredibly common—and rarely talked about honestly. The racing thoughts. The what-ifs. The pressure to feel calm, glowing, and joyful 24/7.

You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You’re human—and you deserve support, not silence.

This series is here to name the things people whisper about (or don’t say at all), so you feel less alone and more grounded as you navigate pregnancy and early parenthood.

💬 If this resonates, save, share, or send to someone who needs to hear it.

• Ask real, practical questions (nothing is too small)
• Connect with other parents navigating the same stage

Our rotating lineup of expert guests brings evidence-based insight in a format that actually fits into real life. Drop in once—or come back every month.

Evidence-based prenatal education works—especially when it’s paired with real community. 💛

Recent survey results show that 98% of expecting parents who have taken our prenatal series would recommend it to a friend, and clinical confidence jumped from just 5% before the program to 93% after. That’s a major boost.

At a time when loneliness in new parenthood is rising and tech-only solutions are everywhere, we’re seeing what actually improves the parenting experience before, during, and after birth: evidence-based education, in-person connection, and support led by nurses and midwives.

Ask an Expert: A Postpartum Support Circle with .pediatrician.friend this Saturday at on the UWS

In partnership with .pediatrician.friend this gathering offers an opportunity to talk openly about what you’re experiencing and receive real-time answers from pediatrician moms and postpartum specialists who understand this season well.

Fun giveaways from .co, and Vivvi!
