Gravida: Do Pregnancy and Postpartum Preparation Like a Pro

For Every Change and Transition

Gravida provides insights, tools, and guidance to prepare for pregnancy, postpartum and your return to work because…

If you’ve ever had a baby, you’ll know that the time is filled with “no one ever told me that.”

No one ever told me that I wouldn’t have abs postpartum and would need help sitting up for weeks.

No one ever told me that I’d shake uncontrollably right after giving birth, not a hallmark moment.

No one ever told me I’d need to pump at work as often as my baby eats.

New moms have trouble healing from birth because of a mountain of “no one ever told me’s” that they need to navigate postpartum.

Gravida addresses the root of the problem of why so many women find it hard to heal from postpartum and return to lives they love: the mountain of things that they don’t expect and need to figure out in inopportune moments again and again.

Gravida provides evidence-based heads up of what to expect and how to deal with it like a pro! We got your back, mama!
