Mama, you deserve more support

Our Registered Nurses will care for you in the comfort of your home after your delivery. All you have to do is schedule your first visit with us. Don’t worry, our RNs will get to know you by reviewing your medical records beforehand. Rest assured that they’ll consult with your OB provider if they have any questions. We believe ongoing care is needed to optimize the mother’s physical, social and psychological well-being. We’re passionate about helping mothers thrive during this vulnerable time.

Depression and anxiety are the most common complications in pregnancy and postpartum, affecting 1 in 7 women.
Why do I need more care?
Why do I need more care?
The postpartum period is a critical time for mom. It’s an exciting time, but also can be very challenging and isolating, especially without support. Most mothers have to navigate the 4th trimester alone and don’t receive care until the traditional 6 week postpartum visit. Common postpartum complications include heavy bleeding, pain, fatigue, urinary incontinence and breastfeeding challenges. More serious complications which can be life-threatening include severe bleeding, high blood pressure and infection.

Insurance typically only covers one (1) routine postpartum visit at 6 weeks postpartum. More than half of pregnancy-related deaths occur between 7 days to 1 year after pregnancy.

What’s Included?

Our Nurses

Our nurses are Registered Nurses (RNs) trained and experienced in maternal health and wellness.  They have a unique set of skills and expertise to care for postpartum mothers.  They’re passionate about taking care of mothers in the 4th trimester.

We require our nurses to complete a background check and to maintain certifications in CPR and BLS.

Our RNs are not postpartum doulas.   RNs provide clinical care and doulas provide non-clinical care.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends:

  • To optimize the health of women and infants, postpartum care should become an ongoing process, rather than a single encounter, with services and support tailored to each woman’s individual needs.
  • All women should ideally have contact with a maternal care provider within the first 3 weeks postpartum.
