During a global pandemic, expecting mothers are experiencing changes with everything from routine check-ups to the conditions in which they may give birth—as hospitals are restricting visitors, pregnant women are being forced to give birth alone. To help women feel more secure and connected to others during a disruptive time, Motherhood Maternity created a community to share discussions on everything from [virtual doctor's appointments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut) and [postpartum isolation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/working-mothers) to working from home with young kids.
