a supportive & inclusive community, where you never feel alone
we're not meant to do this alone...
Society encourages independence! We no longer know our neighbours or live in the same street as wider family... we've lost our villages! There's so much conflicting advice out there & everyone claims to be an "expert"! This can all make raising a family feel lonely & isolating.
what is the Expecting Village?
This is an in person AND in app community enabling you to connect,
share & grow alongside others in true community.
Experience deeper connections & real life support. Swap ideas as well as items!
Village Visitors (experts) will offer invaluable insights & advice on a wide range of
parenting topics & challenges that may lie ahead! Have your niggling questions answered in a safe space.

💜 SLEEP 💤

💜 FIRST AID & keeping little ones safe 🩹
💜 MUSCOSKELETAL PROBLEMS in babies 🩻
