ABOUT US The Big Picture mama2mama is for mamas, by mamas
and about mamas. Our goal is to offer support and
information to women (and their families) during the postpartum period. Our goal is also to create
greater awareness about what the postpartum period is really like. Since everybody on the planet is
either a mama or a child of a mama, our greater goal is to foster health and
harmony on a global basis. We consider motherhood to be a
primary and valuable role in society. We believe that all mothers are heroes.
By celebrating mothers and by offering real support and awareness, we believe
that our community—local and global—will become a better place to live for
everyone. Our mission is to raise awareness
about the postpartum experience and to support all postpartum mothers to
discover their own unique paths to balance and well-being. The Details mama2mama was conceived during a
conversation between 2 mamas. Both had quietly struggled
through the postpartum period in separate and highly individual ways. Both
navigated those turbulent waters and found their own ways to the other side.
Both kept quiet about the struggle, until one day, in a café, they began to
talk openly about it. These mamas gained insight,
inspiration and perspective from this conversation, and gradually came to
realize that this was a conversation that needed to be had; that many, many
mamas had something to add to it. So the 2 mamas started to speak
openly and casually about their postpartum experiences. The result amazed
them both. Virtually EVERY mama who listened had something to add. Suddenly,
other mamas were agreeing, empathizing and sharing their own unique stories
of struggle. Everywhere that women gathered, the 2 mamas just began to share.
Other mamas everywhere entered the conversation. Literally, the energy
gathered; phone calls, private talks and group discussions just began to
happen. The next step revealed itself. The first meeting was an informal
gathering at a restaurant, on November 1st, 2006. 7 mamas showed
up, with babies, bleary eyes, leaking breasts and welcoming smiles. mama2mama was born that day.
