Who Said That? Bingo: The Support Check Edition

Motherhood comes with a lot of words, some that heal, and some that harm.
 
Who Said That? Bingo is more than a game. It’s a conversation starter, a reality check, and a powerful tool for awareness around how we speak to mothers, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.
This interactive bingo experience highlights the phrases moms hear every day…
from deeply supportive and affirming
to dismissive, minimizing, and even harmful.
Because the truth is… words matter.
Whether you’re a mom, partner, provider, friend, or support person, this game invites you to pause and ask:
Am I offering support… or unintentionally causing harm?
What’s Included:
A thoughtfully designed bingo card featuring real-life phrases said to moms
A mix of validating support statements and commonly heard dismissive comments
A “FREE” space to keep it fun and engaging
A tool that can be used individually, in groups, workshops, baby showers, or trainings
Why This Matters:
So many mothers are navigating emotional, physical, and mental changes, often while being met with:
“That’s just hormones.”
“Other moms do it just fine.”
“You wanted this.”
This game gently, but clearly, calls that out.
It also models what real support can sound like:
“How can I support you today?”
“I believe you.”
“What feels most overwhelming right now?”
How to Use It:
At baby showers as a meaningful and eye-opening activity
In therapy or support groups to spark discussion
In parenting classes or maternal health workshops
As a self-reflection tool for partners, family, and providers
The Goal:
Not perfection.
Not shame.
Awareness.
Because when we know better, we can support mothers better.
