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.

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) 🥳

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.

Watching this clip of and nodding so hard.

Early parenthood changes your relationship with time in a way no one can really understand until they’ve lived it. Especially the first time. What used to feel flexible suddenly feels fragile. A small shift can ripple through the entire day.

It’s not that old friendships don’t matter — they absolutely do. But there’s something uniquely grounding about being around other parents who get it without explanation. Who understand why timing feels higher stakes. Who know you’re not being rigid. You’re just trying to keep a tiny human regulated and make sure you have a few precious moments for yourself each day.

That’s the quiet power of parent community.

We connect expectant parents with each other by hosting in-person prenatal education classes throughout the U.S.

We rely on our partners as primary support during pregnancy and postpartum, but how often do we ask how each other is doing?

The truth: Perinatal mental health isn’t just individual. It impacts the entire family.

Our partners at .institute are conducting a new survey to learn more about the experiences of non-birthing parents.

If we want healthier families, we have to support both caregivers.

If you’re a non-birthing parent, please take the survey at the link in .Institute’s bio.

Together, we can break the silence.

Spread the word and share this with your parent friends!
