Birth Sisterhood
Birth Sisterhood: a non commercial global initiative for women giving birth alone. Every day, thousands of women give birth without anyone by their side. Some are far from home. Some have no partner. Some simply walk out of the hospital alone with a newborn in their arms. I keep hearing stories like: “I left the maternity ward by myself”, “No one was there to meet me”, “It was scary, painful, confusing — and there was no familiar face.” So I’m building Birth Sisterhood — a global, free, non commercial project where women can support each other during childbirth, hospital discharge, and the first days at home. Simple human presence. A warm welcome instead of an empty exit door. Support from another woman who cares. Right now we are setting up the first functional flow through Telegram and messengers. The MVP should be ready next week. If you’re a developer, product designer, or someone who wants to help — I’d be truly happy to collaborate. This project has zero commercial goals. Just impact. Just women supporting women across the world. Do you think this kind of support is needed globally? Would it matter in your city or country? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
