We Hit 500 Followers on Instagram! Here’s Why It Means So Much

500 followers. Halfway to 1K. Wow.

To some, it’s just a number. But to us? It’s a huge milestone.

It means 500 of you - parents, birth workers, supporters - have chosen to be part of this space. It means our words, our posts, our late-night thoughts about birth, postpartum, and parenthood are actually reaching people who need them. It means that somewhere out there, a new parent scrolling through their feed feels a little less alone.

And that? That means everything.

Why This Milestone Matters

When we started this journey, we didn’t just want to post content and hope it reached someone. We wanted to build something meaningful.

We wanted to be the place where:

💜 A new mom finds the reassurance she needs after a tough night.

💜 A partner feels seen and included in the postpartum experience.

💜 A birth worker finds resources to better support their clients.

Hitting 500 followers on Instagram tells us that what we’re doing matters. That there are parents out there who need this. That there are birth workers who want to join this journey. That the conversations we’re having about postpartum recovery, mental health, and the realities of new parenthood are worth having.

But here’s the truth: this is just the beginning.

What’s Next?

We’re on the road to 1,000 followers, but this isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about the people we reach. The parents who find comfort in our posts. The birth workers who connect with us. The growing network of support, encouragement, and real talk.

And you can help.

If our posts have helped you, if you’ve ever shared something we posted with a friend, if you believe in what we’re building - help us reach more people.
