Seeking feedback on my startup in postpartum health
Seeking feedback on my startup in postpartum health
Hi Elphas,I would be so grateful for feedback on my startup (still in very early stages). I had a very healthy pregnancy but was not at all prepared for the postpartum struggle. I had the works - hernia, severe diastis recti, tearing, 60 lbs weight gain, and very painful breastfeeding journey. I felt completely lost what to do - my post baby checkup was 15 minutes with a nurse. Nurse was wonderful and my obgyn was great but I don't feel like even they have the resources to guide women. I was told to "Google some exercises for my diastis recti". As you can imagine- nightmare! So much conflicting information and very little data on what is actually clinically effective.I am working on a couple different solutions to this problem; but at this stage I would love to hear if anyone had a similar experience and any resources you used? Any other companies in this space? How did you deal with the postpartum recovery process?I am more focused on postpartum vs. breastfeeding support but definitely open to hearing on this front as well.Thank you all so much! This is a huge help to hear from other women and hopefully impact the recovery process!
