The weeks nobody plans for.
Prashi had spent years looking after other people’s families. Then she came home with her own — twice, and it was no easier the second time.
She knew who to call. And still: a newborn in one arm and a phone in the other, trying to find a night nanny, a lactation consultant, someone to bring food that wasn’t toast.
The help existed. It was scattered across a dozen places, and the person expected to gather it was the one with the least left to give.
Nine Moons is what she wished had been there.
The village looks different now.
Across many cultures, the first few weeks after birth are a time when the mother is looked after, too. Food is brought. The load is shared. In London, the village may live hundreds of miles away, or everyone may be working. Nine Moons was built for exactly this.
“As a GP, I spent years telling new mothers to rest, eat properly and accept help. Then I had my own babies and found there was no one to arrange any of it.”
Nine moons to arrive. Two more to be held.
Nine moons is how long it takes to grow a person. We’re named for the part that comes after — the two moons that ask a great deal of you, and get far less attention.
