About Us
Having a baby is tiring stuff. You're worn to the core by the time it's over, tired beyond what anybody could rightly describe as tired. But when you hold your new baby the pain, the feelings of exhaustion, all fade away. All of that becomes like a tough dream that has a good ending.
Well, a website isn't a kid, not even close. But constructing it is like an act of love: you work together and hope the whole ends up better than the sum of its individual parts. We're not trying to create another website, we're creating a great one.
Our Mission
We're built By Parents, For Parents™. We've banded together to build a website to educate, empower, and connect ourselves, other parents, and people trying to become parents. We're doing this out of our love for children, and our desire to do our best raising them to become good adults. We believe parenting is a sacred responsibility, and that education and communication will help us fulfill this responsibility the best we can.
What We Offer
We'll get you empowered by providing on-line webinars and educational events, forums that cover fertility, conception, pregnancy, labor, delivery and parenting and more. We also offer podcasts, blogs, articles, pregnancy calendars and bbt charts. Our tools enable you track your fertility, fetal development and growth of your wee one. We have an extensive video library that covers from getting pregnant to baby and beyond.
Our Principles
We're for profit but we don't exist only to make money. Because of this, we pledge the highest ethics. We won't advertise lucrative products, like baby formula. We will not accept any sponsorship that directly or indirectly interferes with our mission or compromises our ethics.
We do community outreach. There are many folks out there that will need our help. We're planning on being there for you!
We're built organically. We've all held babies or long to someday. We've had babies pee in our faces, and been happy that our kid's parts work! We've been embarrassed at restaurants, and interrupted at work. We know you can't intervene in every fit, nor ignore those thrown when you'd rather be doing something else. We are you.
We're flat. We're all equal community members. We're a group of people working together to create a common goal: the greatest resource and community for people who want to have kids, are pregnant, are raising children or even beginning to take care of our own parents. Nobody's above, or below, anybody else.
If you're trying to become pregnant, currently pregnant, or a parent we'd love for you to join our community and take advantage of all we have to offer. Participate as much or as little as you want. You're always welcome here.
Pregnancy.org is always growing and evolving, to become the best pregnancy and parenting site out there!
