Hi! I’m Nina Spears, also known as “The Baby Chick”®—Founder and CEO of Baby Chick. I’m a certified baby planner, birth doula, postpartum doula, and a mom myself. Over the past 14 years, I’ve had the honor of helping over 800 families through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenting. I created Baby Chick to support moms like you with expert-backed advice, heartfelt stories, and real-life guidance for every stage of motherhood.

Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are beautiful and deeply rewarding, but they can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and, at times, lonely. I’ve witnessed it as a doula, coach, and educator, and I’ve lived it as a mom. That’s why I created Baby Chick: to be a trusted space where you feel supported, encouraged, and understood. Whether you’re looking for expert guidance or just need a reminder that you’re doing great, you’ll always have a place here.
Now that you know a little more about me, I hope you’ll stick around! I’d love to see you around the site and on our social pages. Welcome to the Baby Chick community — your sisterhood in motherhood.
