Letter from Heidi.
If you’ve been pregnant, you’ve been there. We all have. The frantic weekend Google searches over a sudden symptom, the midnight panic over an unexplained pain, the hundreds of questions swirling in your head –including the ones you forgot to ask at the last visit, or felt embarrassed asking. Is this normal? Should I call the doctor’s office? They’re busy – and they’ll probably just think it’s silly. But what if it’s something serious, and I don’t call? Motherhood (and all the questions and concerns that come with it) doesn't take nights and weekends off, and neither should your healthcare.
That's why we’ve created What to Expect Care. We're here to fill the gap, to be the nurturing support system every mom deserves, no matter the time, no matter the concern. Empathy. Reassurance. Realistic, reliable advice. A hand to hold, a voice to talk you down (or pump you up!). Like the What to Expect app and books, we'll be your village – the one you can always call on, even when your provider’s not on call. There for every mom, everywhere, when she needs it most.
We are on a mission to revolutionize access to high-quality, compassionate, respectful, and responsive maternal healthcare for all. Built by moms, for moms, because as I always say, “Motherhood is the ultimate sisterhood”.
Hugs,
Heidi Murkoff
Creator of What to Expect
