In the months that followed my child's birth, I joined a handful of mom groups. Regardless of their size or location, what struck me most was our commonalities in pregnancy and parenthood across all boundaries. And there, time and time again, I listened to horror stories from women; they described being shoved onto crowded trains, health complications from standing too long or carrying something too heavy, and fainting from motion sickness.
I often question whether I should offer someone my seat or to carry their bags, or if I will offend them. So I thought, what if people clearly knew who was pregnant, or who would be willing to extend them common courtesies? I have witnessed such great generosity of spirit between strangers when someone has a visible need. And so, the UP-STAND movement was born. We aim to make public spaces & transportation safer for pregnant women by connecting them with their supporters, and my hope is that you'll join us.

5 out of 5 starsI bought these buttons for my friend who is early on in her pregnancy so she isn't obviously showing. Since having her buttons, she's been offered more seats on her commute to work. Great purchase!
