When new mothers return to work after childbirth, they face a challenging transition that many workplaces fail to adequately support. While companies often celebrate baby showers and send congratulatory messages, the critical postpartum period remains largely unaddressed in workplace policies. This oversight isn’t just a personal challenge for new mothers—it represents a significant business cost that employers can no longer afford to ignore.

Pregnancy brings joy, anticipation, and significant physical and emotional changes. For the nearly 70% of women who continue working while pregnant, these changes create unique workplace challenges that traditional work environments aren’t always equipped to address.

Are you counting sheep instead of counting kicks? You’re not alone. The irony of pregnancy isn’t lost on most expectant mothers—just when your body needs rest the most, sleep becomes frustratingly elusive.

When you’re expecting, few thoughts loom larger than “the moment” itself—labor and delivery day. Between the excitement, anticipation, and yes, some natural anxiety, preparing for childbirth can feel overwhelming. You want to feel confident, but with so much information available, where do you even start?

Preparing for pregnancy is like studying for the most important exam of your life—except there’s no definitive textbook, the syllabus keeps changing, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With so much conflicting advice available online, finding reliable guidance can feel overwhelming.

In an era where we manage everything from banking to fitness through our smartphones, it’s no surprise that pregnancy and postpartum care have gone digital too. With maternal care deserts growing and over 40% of U.S. births covered by Medicare and Medicaid, digital solutions are filling critical gaps. But can an app truly replace the reassuring touch of a midwife or the communal support of a mothers’ group?

Sleep is precious—especially when you’re growing or caring for a new human. If you’re struggling with sleep during pregnancy or after birth, you’re not alone. Research shows that up to 78% of pregnant women report disturbed sleep, with problems peaking in the third trimester.

The journey into motherhood doesn’t end with childbirth—in many ways, it’s just beginning. The first six weeks after giving birth represent a critical period that can profoundly impact a mother’s physical healing, emotional wellbeing, and long-term recovery. Yet in a culture that often rushes new mothers back to “normal life,” these crucial weeks rarely get the attention they deserve.

That uncomfortable, sweaty feeling after giving birth isn’t just in your head. New research reveals that your postpartum body temperature preferences are actually driven by real changes in your brain—and understanding this shift can make your recovery significantly more comfortable.

Imagine speaking to your smartphone for just a few minutes and receiving immediate feedback about your postpartum mental health. This isn’t science fiction—it’s rapidly becoming reality thanks to groundbreaking research combining artificial intelligence with maternal health care.
