It Doesn't Have
To Cost A Fortune...
Only Look Like It!

hen something you need
doesn't exist, what do you
do? If you're like Lindsay
Pinchuk, you create it.
Six years ago, this West Bloomfield
native now living in Chicago, was preg-
nant with her first child and hoping to
meet other expectant moms. After an
exhaustive search for a group or orga-
nization aimed at connecting pregnant
women, Pinchuk came up empty.
There were plenty of resources for
moms and new moms but nothing
for women on their way to becoming
moms — nothing until Pinchuk cre-
ated those resources and opportunities.
Her first get-together was a pre-
natal workout class: Approximately
30 women came. Then she hosted a
shopping event and more moms-to-be
attended. "Women kept asking: 'What's
next?' said Pinchuk. "So I started host-

ing events like dinners with speakers.
There were always gift bags and raffles,
and it just grew from there."
What started out as a prenatal
exercise class evolved into Bump Club
and Beyond (BCB), one of the largest
parenting communities in the country
aimed at connecting moms-to-be (and
new moms) with each other, resources,
information, products and experts.
Pinchuk was working as an advertis-
ing executive in the magazine division
for Hearst, so evenings were spent
organizing and hosting events; but
ultimately she left her job to start BCB.
On Sept. 29, BCB will host an event
in Birmingham to introduce itself as a
presence in the Metro Detroit area.
"I want to connect women with
resources and experts, but I really
want them to connect with each other
and walk away with relationships with
