About Featured
Our support is grounded in autonomy and informed decision-making, rather than standard routines. We provide actionable guidance on drafting birth plans that hospitals respect, navigating VBAC options, and accessing postpartum mental health resources. Whether you are facing a high-risk pregnancy or simply need someone to listen in your preferred language, we help you translate medical information into choices that make sense for your life.
Beyond Clinical Care
We believe that pregnancy is a transition that requires more than just medical check-ups. Our collective includes birth educators, midwives, and counselors who focus on the human experience of birth. Navigating healthcare in a city like Bangalore can be overwhelming, so we work with you to understand your rights and options before you walk into a hospital.
Your Birth, Your Way
We provide specialized counseling to help you prepare for different scenarios, including hospital births, home birth options, and Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). We help you parse through medical advice on inductions, epidurals, and interventions, giving you the facts to discuss preferences with your obstetrician. If you are anxious about the hospital environment, we help you create a documented birth plan to communicate your needs clearly.
Language and Inclusion
Fear often stems from a lack of clarity. We bridge this gap by offering support in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, and English. When you can ask questions in a language you are comfortable with, you regain control over your health.
Postpartum and Mental Health
Our support continues long after the baby arrives. From breastfeeding challenges to the emotional toll of early parenthood, we provide confidential mental health counseling and practical newborn care guidance. We also run community workshops—ranging from prenatal yoga and labor mobility exercises like Spinning Babies to training frontline health workers—to ensure that high-quality, respectful care is accessible to everyone in our community.
Bangalore Birth Network
We are the Bangalore Birth Network, a collective of parents, professionals, and volunteers. We believe that every mother deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported, regardless of the path they choose for their birth.
