Online platform momunity acts as a virtual support group and believes in "empowering new and expecting moms through education and connecting moms to care and support in their local community."
Serving as a database for access to maternal wellness experts in both prenatal and postpartum care fields -- from yoga and fitness studio recommendations to support from doulas and lactation experts and postpartum recovery therapists -- momunity is a one-stop platform for all the information new moms need.
While first-time parenthood is exciting and rewarding, it can also be an anxiety-filled experience with many unknowns for new moms, something that momunity addresses with an endless list of educational resources, expert support and a database of discussion forums that are especially important during these changing times -- when in-person support groups are less preferred as a result of COVID-19.
