Hatch is a collection of stories told by women world-over who are in that transformative time in the first year of becoming a mother. It’s the big picture stuff about giving life, raising babies and what it means to be a mother, told through the minutiae of day-to-day experience.

Hatch is the brainwave of Renae Turner, a video & digital producer from Melbourne, Australia who any day now will have her second baby and from there on in will probably change this idea to also include 2nd and 3rd time mothers and fathers’ stories and all sorts!

In any case, the grand plan for Hatch is to cover stories from all over the world. We want to talk to ethnically, culturally and socially diverse women to connect the dots between how we raise our kids. Hatch is not - a ‘how to parent’ website. Instead it is a place to share and learn from experience via the colour and drama of spoken stories.
