I can never truly know its depths, but witnessing it left me compelled to build something better—more empathetic, more human. I built Maay for my partner (a little too late)—I hope it helps you through labor and those first precious days. "Maay" (माय) means mother in Marathi, spoken with affection and warmth. Made with love in Berlin.
