EP 150: Due Date Groups

What this episode covers

This week, we're diving deep into one of the most unexpected and meaningful parts of modern motherhood: due date groups. Whether you found yours on Facebook, Reddit, BabyCenter, or somewhere else entirely, there's something magical about navigating pregnancy, newborn life, toddlerhood, and beyond alongside thousands of moms who are in the exact same season as you. In this episode, we're sharing how due date groups have shaped our motherhood journeys, the friendships we've made, the support we've received during some of the hardest moments, and why these communities can feel like a true village in a world where so many moms feel isolated. Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We also talk about the challenges that can come with these groups, including comparison, differing parenting opinions, and navigating relationships online. If you've ever wondered whether joining a due date group is worth it, or if you've found yourself leaning on yours more than you ever expected, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we discuss: • What a due date group actually is and where to find one • Why being surrounded by moms in the exact same season is so powerful • The friendships and support systems that have come from our groups • How due date groups evolve from pregnancy through the preschool years • The challenges of comparison and differing parenting styles • Why these communities have made motherhood feel less lonely • Our favorite memories and biggest takeaways from being part of these groups As always, thanks for hanging out with us this week.
