Announcing Find Mama Care — your DMV hub for pregnancy, birth & postpartum providers

Hi there, I’m Bethany—mom of three, fueled by lukewarm coffee, and typing this while the same Peppa Pig episode plays for the 100th time. 👋 Between diaper duty and soccer practice, I’ve been working on something really great: an online marketplace for pregnancy and postpartum care.

This concept came from a place of personal need, and the needs of other moms in my life.

Raise your hand if you left the hospital after 2-3 nights and felt like everyone was saying, “Sayonara! Good luck with that!” but you felt totally clueless.

Why moms (and babies) need more support

• Maternal outcomes in the U.S. still lag; 18.6 women per 100,000 live births died from pregnancy-related causes in 2023 alone—and the rate is far higher for Black moms. (cdc.gov)
• A 2024 survey found 92% of moms never made it to a pelvic-floor PT after birth—even though bladder leaks and back pain complaints were running rampant in the group text. (theoriginway.com)
• And 86% of new mothers said no one gave them guidance on healing that pelvic floor in the first place. (parents.com)

Bottom line: moms need easier access to trustworthy experts now, not after another frantic Google crawl at 2 a.m.
