High Maternal & Infant
Death Rate
Our culture sees birth as a scary, out of
control event that needs to be
addressed as a procedure.
Now that birth has
moved into the
hospital, the primary
exposure most women
have to it is through 

the media.
We wanted to design a product to enable women to
focus on labor and delivery as a long, hard,
completely do-able and natural process.
A positive birth
experience leaves the
mother feeling
empowered by her birth,
which sets the tone for
new motherhood.

A negative birth
experience often leaves
the mother feeling bowled
over - like she wasn't in
control and didn't know
what was happening.

Karen's ability to set boundaries and make decisions about
what she needed from others set the tone for her L&D.
"We ask that
everyone stay out of
the house and
possibly at a remote
location... unless you
have been specifically
asked to be present."
Karen's ability to set boundaries and make decisions about
what she needed from others set the tone for her L&D.
"We ask that
everyone stay out of
the house and
possibly at a remote
location... unless you
have been specifically
asked to be present."
"I have put Sarah in
charge of keeping all
close to us updated
with text messages so
that as we get close
to the baby's [arrival],
people can make 

their way closer to 

the house."
Inner Circle
The Birth Plan For

Everyone Else
Wireframes: Building a Birth Plan
User Continues To Answer Questions
& Build Her Birth Plan
Going Into Labor Alert
User Testing

"I made some assumptions that
people would know what to do
and really, nobody knew what to
do or what I wanted them to do."
-L.

"I wish I could have told people
'Oh hell no, don't come to the
hospital- you can't help and I
don't want you here.'"
-K.
"I would tell all of my pregnant
friends that [Inner Circle] is
something they need to do to
prepare - to pack their

proverbial suitcase."
-L.
Inner Circle lends an assertive voice to
pregnant women everywhere.
Going Forward Next Quarter
Piloting with Users
We have front end design skills but

could use guidance on back end development.
