Maternity leave isn’t a break — it’s a full-time emotional, physical and identity shift… with no manual, no feedback, and no clocking off.
It can feel beautiful and overwhelming.
Connected and lonely.
Grateful and unsure.
All at the same time.
None of that means you’re doing anything wrong.
It means you’re doing something incredibly hard, mostly in isolation.
Motherhood was never supposed to be a solo project.
We learn best alongside other mothers — not on our own.
Not by Googling at 3am.
Not by comparing ourselves to Instagram.
Not by pretending we’re fine when we’re feeling shaky inside.
Not by holding back our joys when our hearts could burst
That’s why I created The Baby Village — a professionally facilitated community in Cambridge that supports you during the steep learning curve of the first year.
💛 kindness is the culture
🫶 differences are respected
🌿 vulnerability is welcome
🌸 joy doesn’t require guilt
☕ online connection becomes real-life friendship
A supported start to motherhood makes everything feel lighter.
✨ Membership is £15/month · cancel anytime

You don’t have to do this alone.
You were never meant to.
