A Note from Our Founder

Hey Girlfriend,

I started The Waite after walking through some of the hardest, most unspoken parts of motherhood.

After a traumatic PPROM 17w loss in 2020, I was sent home with a generic brochure and a "you can try again after you've had three cycles." Since then, I’ve navigated retained placentas, rainbow pregnancies that felt like marathons of anxiety, shortening of my cervix at 20 weeks, lots and lots of pelvic rest, the "failure to thrive" heartbreak of low milk supply, and the terrifying silence of undiagnosed PPD.

If you're reading this and thinking“phew, she’s been through a lot,” - that's because it is.

But it’s also not rare. My story is just one of the many stories of a woman who had to fight and claw her way to grow her family. So many women are walking through versions of this. Some have been through more. Some haven’t yet. But I know that going through all that I did, I couldn't be the only one left sitting in the room thinking what the actual $%#$ happened to me in 4 years.

So I made it my mission: I’m going to show up for the girls in the way I wish someone had shown up for me. And for the girl not yet knowing she’s going to experience any of this, you bet I’m going to be there for her the moment she finds out.

The Waite is a high-end filter for the girl who is on her way to, through, and within motherhood.

I personally vet every set and every product based on the lived experience of surviving the hardest parts. And because I know that products are not the answer to every question and experience we are going through as women, I’ve created a Library of Resources too.

This community, this village, we’re here for the joyful moments, and for the ones that feel heavy and unspoken, too.

You’re not alone anymore. We’re in the wait with you.
& We're so glad you're here

With so much love,
Chelle Waite

We don’t do “just wait.” We do real support. Everything we share is filtered through the Little Sister Rule: if we wouldn’t place it in our little sister’s hands on her hardest day, you won’t find it here. We prioritize brands created by women who understand these seasons firsthand, because the best solutions are almost always the ones quietly lived, tested, and passed between women.

The Weight of Waiting

motherhood is filled with so much waiting.

The wait for conception
How long will this take? Can I even get pregnant?

The wait for a healthy pregnancy
How long will I feel sick? Will this baby ever come?

The wait after loss
How long will my heart hurt? Will I ever feel strong enough to try again?

The wait for postpartum recovery
How long will I feel like I was hit by a bus? Will I ever sleep again?

The wait for breastfeeding challenges to ease
When will my milk come? Will my boobs always hurt this much when the baby latches?


These questions are rarely spoken out loud but they’re deeply familiar to so many of us.

The Waite exists for the women living inside these moments.
