She smiled. She showed up.

She held it together.

Then cried in her car in the parking lot.

Real stories, real moms.

This is how postpartum pain often looks: hidden behind a mask of "fine."

At held, we’re building a different story.

One where the mask isn’t needed.
Where truth is met with support, not silence.

If you've been here - we see you.

And you don’t have to hold it alone anymore.

My partner felt hopeless.
And I didn’t know how to tell him that.....even though he was trying to help, it wasn’t actually helping.

We don’t talk enough about the ripple effect of postpartum struggles.

Partners often don’t know what to do.

Moms don’t know how to explain.

Everyone’s drowning quietly.

💬 So many women in our survey shared this exact feeling.
📊 In fact, 1 in 10 partners may experience symptoms of postpartum depression too.

We’re building held to support the whole village, not just the baby.

I Was Told There’d Be a Village by Melissa Wirt is a powerful reminder of what so many new moms quietly face - the overwhelm, the invisible labor, the isolation.

Melissa doesn’t just name the problem -she makes space for moms to feel seen and reminds us that the “village” isn’t gone… it’s just waiting to be rebuilt.

Her words reflect what we've heard again and again in 1:1 interviews with moms and our anonymous survey: too many women are navigating postpartum alone, in silence, or though whispers.

If her book is the call to action, held is the response.

We’re building a space where moms feel supported, connected, and seen - especially in the moments when it’s hardest to ask for help.

So many moms think this is just how it’s supposed to feel.

They cry quietly. They white knuckle it and keep going.

They don’t realize they’re not alone.

We’re building held to change that - a space for support, real stories, and better care.

The village everyone talks about.

“I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror.”

Not just because everything changed.

But because somewhere along the way, I disappeared.

Now I’m “Mom.”

But who else am I?

Where did she go?

This is the part no one talks about - the quiet identity crisis that hits when the baby arrives and the world stops asking about you.

You’re not alone if you feel lost.

You’re not broken for wondering who you are now.

And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

held is coming to support you and all moms who may feel this way.

No one told me postpartum would feel like this.

Not my doctor. Not the apps. Not even my closest friends.

But when I finally opened up, the truth poured out:

I wasn’t the only one.

That’s why we're creating held.

For the moms who want to feel seen, supported, and understood - before and after baby.

👶 This carousel shares real things women wish they’d known.

🧡 If you’re a mom-to-be or new mom, this is for you.

Motherhood was never meant to be a solo act.

We’re building held so you can find support, share your truth, and connect with others who get it - whether you're joyful, exhausted, unsure, or all three at once.

This is the kind of community and village we believe in. And it’s coming soon. 💛

We’ve heard this again and again from moms navigating postpartum. The silence, the overwhelm, the invisibility - it’s too common.

held is being built to change that. For every mom who felt forgotten, exhausted, or alone, you're not.

We see you. We’re building this for you and the women to come.

Follow along, share your story, and join the movement.

You’re handed a baby… and expected to just figure it out.

No one prepares you for the anxiety. The shame. The deep loneliness. Most moms don’t even know there’s a name for what they’re feeling. Our focus is on improving PMAD: Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder during postpartum.

This is why we’re building held.

To create space for moms to feel seen, heard, and supported -from day one.

To change the system, not just survive it.

💛 held is here to change that.
