The app
Your Postpartum Village
A free app that helps you plan the support you'll need after birth, and lets the people who love you sign up to help.
Beyond a meal train
More than a meal train
A meal train covers dinners. Your Postpartum Village covers the whole fourth trimester: every kind of help, a plan made before you're sleep deprived, recipes for your village to cook, and gentle reminders, so nothing falls through the cracks.
How it works
It takes planning, coordination, nourishment, rest, surrender, a villageplanning
Plan your postpartum
Map out your postpartum before baby arrives. Choose your gathering window, pick the kinds of support that will help, and build a picture of what a truly supported postpartum looks like for you.
Invite your village
Partner, parents, friends, neighbours, your doula. They choose the times that suit them, so no one is left wondering how to help.
Rest
You weren't meant to do this alone. Your village is gathered and the support is in place. Now give yourself permission to rest, to heal, and to enjoy a well supported and nourished postpartum.

Questions
Good to know
Does my village need to download anything?
No. Your Postpartum Village is a web app, so it works like a website: your village just opens the link on their phone or computer. If you'd like it to feel like an app, you can save it to your phone's home screen in a couple of taps. We know you've got enough apps already, so we've made it as easy as possible for everyone in your village to show up.
Is it free for my village?
Always. Only you choose whether to upgrade.
When should I start?
During pregnancy is ideal, so your plan is ready before baby arrives. But it's never too late; plenty of mamas start in the first weeks after birth.
Who can see my address?
Only the people in your village who are helping you.
