any mishaps in the hospital or afterwards, the weeks and months following childbirth can be extremely hard on the new mom, with estimates as
high as one in five women suffering from postpartum depression or anxiety and about 9% of women experiencing post traumatic stress disorder
And then there are all the medical complications
Williams, who has a history of blood clots, ended up basically shouting at the doctors to give her a CT scan that saved her life.The real
online group discussions with other moms going through the same thing and at the same stage but also connection to your medical provider
was exhibiting symptoms of septic shock
The co-founder says a coach was able to call this mom on the spot and get her to contact her OB-GYN right away.There are other online
services like Postpartum Support International (PSI) and the Bloom Foundation, which both provide a sort of digital network and resources
for new moms, but Hanna believes it is that missing link to medical professionals after mom has gone home from the hospital that really

This missing element creates gaps in care
goes beyond social support to providing engagement and patient monitoring, makes money through group and individual video calls (the
introductory session with a coach is free) and various support groups
There are also different payment tiers starting at $20 a month and up toward $200 per month where new parents can ask unlimited questions
through a HIPAA-secure, online dashboard connecting them with their medical providers and Mahmee coaches.Do new moms need to pay someone to
help them out and monitor them medically after they get home from the hospital? Possibly
But often it can take weeks to get a counseling session at a busy hospital and your OB may have too many patients to call and check up on
providers in the Mahmee network so far
