I was 31 weeks pregnant when I ended up on my bathroom floor at 2am.

Not dramatically. Slowly, carefully — because it was the only position that gave my lower back any relief.

My physio referral had been sitting with the GP for six weeks. My midwife had told me to rest. The cheap gym ball my husband had bought was somewhere in the living room, half-deflated, because we'd lost the pump adaptor and I couldn't kneel on the hard floor long enough to use it properly.

I knew the ball was working. Those few minutes leaning forward on it were the most comfortable I'd felt all week. But everything around it was failing — it rolled, there was nothing to protect my knees, I had no idea which movements were actually safe at 31 weeks, and it looked completely wrong in the home I'd spent years making feel like mine.

So I started asking questions. I spoke to physiotherapists. I read the research. I found out that in clinical birth settings — hospitals, midwifery-led units — this tool came with a whole system: a mat for stability, padding for the floor, and a practitioner telling you exactly what to do with it.

Women in hospital birth suites had everything.

Women at home had a gym ball and a prayer.

That felt wrong to me. Not just inconvenient — wrong.

Pregnancy pain is not a rite of passage. It has a cause, and it has a mechanism, and there is a physiotherapy-backed system that addresses it. The fact that most women only discover this at 30 weeks, when they're already desperate, sitting on Reddit at midnight looking for anything that helps — that's the problem we set out to solve.

We built Mama Move around one idea: that the support available to women in clinical settings should be available to every woman, in her own home, from the moment the pain starts.

Every piece in our catalogue was designed with that in mind. Nothing random. Nothing that doesn't earn its place. The ball that actually stays where you put it. The cushion that makes floor positions possible at 36 weeks. The guide that tells you exactly what to do and why. The pump that means you'll actually use it tomorrow, and the day after.

We're not midwives or doctors. We're just people who believed pregnant women deserved better than what was out there — and decided to build it.

We hope it helps.
