The main "umbrella" topics here are "parenthood decision"; "preparing body, mind, and spirit/psyche" for a possible pregnancy/current pregnancy; "birth options"; and of course: "BABIES"! :-). [While this community may at times touch upon "fertility/infertility/clinical methods, TTC (trying to conceive)" etc., a gentle reminder that the topic of infertility is only one of a great many facets of this community.]

The main aim is to create, nurture and maintain a safe, supportive, constructive, and creative space in which to collectivley brainstorm topics including: whether or not to become a parent; how to prepare body/mind/spirit/psyche for a baby; preconception planning; pregnancy and birth options; birth anticipation; birth rituals; home birth vs. hospital birth; and the journey into parenthood, among other toics.
