A Message from Marea

As a midwife who's cared for hundreds and hundreds of people trying to conceive, pregnant, birthing and postpartum, as well as a mom who's gone through these experiences myself, I really understand how intense this time of life can be.

Trying to conceive, especially as a queer person, can be full of ups and down—and people need more support during this time. And during pregnancy, we experience so many profound changes: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational. We're also faced with a TON of medical decisions that most of us have probably never considered before. It's a lot. And people deserve so much more support, education and community throughout this whole process.

It is NOT enough to see your doctor or midwife for a 5-minute insemination or prenatal appointment once a month. You deserve more. Someone to offer you easy-to-digest information about what is and is not normal so that you do not need to be up in the middle of the night fending off a google-induced panic attack. And a community to be with you during this time.

I believe so strongly in the transformational power of this time of life, from preconception to the postpartum. I mean, we are literally conceiving and growing the next generation—that is f*cking powerful! I think that the more people who are TTC and pregnant (and our families) feel supported, empowered, and nourished throughout our family building experiences, the better able we'll be as a species to heal ourselves and our world. I hope you’ll join us in the PregnantTogether community!
