Let’s be real: Being a new mom is hard. The fact that it’s not an open conversation makes it even harder. We at WellNested have gathered perspectives from a wide range of mothers to pull back the curtain on new motherhood.

"How I Did This" is a short-form video series exposing how women make new motherhood, and the transition back to work, work for them. In this series, we celebrate a range of mothers from diverse backgrounds, industries and experiences across Boston, and share their stories. These supermoms are telling us about their pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences in our weekly interviews.

First is Aceil Halaby, co-founder and chief operating officer of Bloomer Tech, a Boston-based startup that has built an electrocardiogram bra. Halaby is mom to Romy, who is now 2 years old.
