How it Works
Mamistad forms first-time pregnant and new moms' groups for moms who are due or delivered their first baby within 3-4 months of one another.
In-person groups for moms in the general NOVA/DC area, Austin, TX and Denver, CO.
Not in these areas? Sign up and we'll contact you if when your area takes off! Virtual options may also be available.
Our Mission: to ease the transition to new motherhood through curated support groups, provide information
and resources via our website and podcast, Mom Chat with Mamistad and foster family communities.
Having our 2nd baby? Fill out this form.
In-person groups are currently being formed in the NOVA/DC, Denver CO and Austin, TX areas. If you're not in these areas, submit your form anyway and we'll get back to you if we hear from more moms in your area!
*There is a one-time fee of $67-87 (based on location) to be placed in up to two groups (if there are two available). Fee may be paid in two payments if necessary.

MOM CHAT, the Mamistad Podcast was launched on February 14, 2024 to share all the amazing lessons we've learned, stories we've lived and brilliance we've encountered (we work with lots of amazing experts) on our collective motherhood journeys as a Sisterhood of Mamas. Do you have a motherhood story to share?
