### My story

Hey, we’re Bangalore Birth Network. We started with one idea: every ma and baby should feel safe and heard, no matter what. We’re not just doctors or counselors, we’re moms too – and we know this whole parenting thing is a wild ride. We’ve seen women open up, ask tough questions, even in Hindi – ‘aaj jo hai... pura clear se open se maine question kiya... bahut achha laga’ (Today I could ask everything openly, felt so good). That’s what we’re about. Come as you are, speak your heart, we’re here.

### My work

- **All Our Services**: Birth counseling, postpartum mental health support, lactation consults, babywearing sling library, plus meetups for moms and toddlers.
- **Respectful Birth Counseling**: We help you choose – hospital, home, or birth center. Your birth, your way, with real info and zero judgment.
- **Community Support in Many Languages**: English, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi – talk to us in your language, no worries.
- **Free Camps and Training**: We run camps for moms, train ASHA workers and nurses, all to spread respectful, evidence-based care everywhere.
- **Postpartum and Breastfeeding Help**: After birth, we’re still here. Support for breastfeeding, newborn care, and surviving those first months.
