The Challenge

Becoming a parent is both exciting and overwhelming, but many expecting and new parents face a lack of personalized support and trusted guidance. This gap can lead to stress, isolation, and uncertainty in navigating pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Parentbirth™ was created to bridge this gap, offering accessible, expert-driven support at parents’ fingertips.

Our Solution

By working closely with expecting and new parents, as well as the virtual doula community, we conceptualized and launched Parentbirth™—a user-friendly, text-based platform that connects parents with virtual doulas. The platform ensures that expecting and new parents have round-the-clock access to guidance, empowering them with the confidence to navigate their unique parenting journeys. By focusing on empathetic support and personalized resources, Parentbirth™ is revolutionizing how parents receive care.
