Mamistad

The First-time Pregnant & New Moms Network 
Since 2005

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 are currently being formed in the NOVA/DC, Denver CO and Austin, TX areas.  
If you're not in these areas don't worry! There is always a community for you online and we'll continue to keep you posted about groups in your area.

Why It Works

MATRESENCE. . ."the process of becoming a mother... It's a holistic change in multiple domains of your life. You're going to feel it perhaps bodily, psychologically...with your peer groups...at your job... in terms of the big philosophical questions....

...When we don't talk about it, the myth of motherhood as this idyllic oasis is perpetuated in our culture...Talking about what's happening with you with other moms is such a pillar of support."

The Truth . . first-time moms are often blindsided by many aspects of new motherhood - it's tough!  Despite all their planning, they aren't prepared for the transition to motherhood.  Having your first baby is likely one of the most impacting, life-changing and overwhelming things you'll ever do.

  • Having mom friends who relate to your situation before and after childbirth can change EVERYTHING. Believe me, I know.

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?

Welcome to the Mami Network.
Welcome to the Sisterhood 
of struggle and triumph
and heartache 
and bliss...

Source after souce tells you to build a support system before your baby arrives. Still, many moms put it off joining a group until after, but by then they feel completely overwhelmed and ISOLATED.
The ideal scenario is to join a FIRST PREGNANCY group, because there are so many more benefits to you if you can form your Mama Arsenal while pregnant!
There's a reason we've been doing this since 2005.
