Community
A moderated place to ask what it’s really like. Mothers near your stage come first, mothers further along tell you what’s coming, and you post under a nickname, in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
How your feed works
From 4 weeks pregnant to parents of 2-year-olds. Every post keeps the stage its writer was at, so it still makes sense to a mother reading it months later.
Mothers within about a month of you come first, then everyone else. Your questions reach the people living them right now.
Curious what’s coming? Tap the 8th month, or the first months with a baby, and see what mothers there asked most.
Reply to someone earlier than you and your reply says “Been there”. Mothers still waiting for a first reply are shown to you.
Read any stage
Say you’re in your 6th month. Tap a stage to see what mothers there are asking, and the reply that helped most.
Near you: mothers within about a month of you come first.
Sasural mein sab bol rahe hain ghee zyada khao, delivery easy hogi. Sach hai kya?
Top reply
Meri saas ne bhi yahi kaha tha! My doctor said the usual amount in cooking is fine, but extra ghee doesn’t make delivery easier. I told mummy-ji the doctor said so, and that ended it nicely.
Everyone says enjoy this time, but I’m so anxious about the delivery. Is that normal?

Bilkul normal. I worried before every visit. Talking through the birth plan with my doctor helped a lot, and so did Nani’s breathing exercises at night. You’re doing great.
Example posts. Nicknames and stories are made up to show how the community works.
Same here
One tap tells a mother she isn’t the only one. Sometimes that’s the reply she needed.
Search every stage
Find what mothers already asked. As you write, similar posts show up, with their replies.
Reply alerts
Know when someone answers your post, or turn alerts off and check in when you like.
Your language
Write and read in English, Hindi or Hinglish, and filter the feed by language.
Your privacy
Your chats with Nani are private. The community is different: everyone in it can read what you post, so you pick a nickname, and nothing else about you is shown.
How your posts look
Everyone in the community sees
Nobody in the community sees
Kept safe
The community gets the same checks as your chats with Nani. Other mothers share what helped them; your doctor still decides.
Every post is checked first
Danger signs, medicine doses and personal details are caught before anyone reads them.
Urgent? You get help at once
If a post sounds urgent, the help card shows straight away. You don’t wait for replies.
People, not just filters
The Nani team reviews the posts that need a check, every day.
Report anything
What you report disappears for you at once, and a moderator looks at it. Nobody is told who reported.
Ask the community
Since this morning there’s some bleeding. Is this normal at 30 weeks?
If you post it, the Nani team checks it first.
Only you will see it until then. Please don’t wait for replies:
The help card shows before the post is sent, not after.
The community rules
They’re pinned at the top of the feed, and each one is there for a reason. Tap a rule to see why.
Mothers here are tired, worried and often far from family. A kind word goes a long way.
What was right for one mother can harm another. Share what helped; leave the dose to the doctor.
To keep everyone’s details private, and the community free of ads and strangers.
The law (the PCPNDT Act) forbids it, and every baby is welcome here.
Other mothers can’t check on you. Ask Nani, call your doctor, or call 112. The help card shows up by itself if your post sounds urgent.
A mother at 8 weeks may read your birth story. Hard stories are welcome; start with a line like “This was a hard birth” so others can choose to read on.
Reports are private. What you report disappears for you at once, and a moderator looks at it.
Joining
Open Community in the app menu. You can read everything as soon as you join; your first posts are checked by a moderator, usually within a few hours.
Seven of them, each with the reason why.
The only name the community sees. Nani suggests one, like Marigold24, and you can change it later.
You’re 18 or older, and you agree to the rules. That’s it.
Ask Nani is coming soon to iPhone, Android and the web, free while in beta. Tell her where you are on your journey, and she’ll take it from there.
