Fundraising drive for app to help mums

Amidst the chaos of maternity leave and personal experiences of childbirth Exeter-based Laura Davies and Sarah Andrews, both GPs and new mums, faced a stark reality.

The struggle to find reliable and comprehensive information on postnatal recovery was real and daunting. Clumps of hair in hand, they realised the overwhelming focus on the baby's well-being overshadowed the mother's health journey, sparking misinformation and a worrying lack of support for new mothers.

Compelled by their findings and personal challenges, they conducted a survey amongst new mums. The results were eye-opening.

Eighty six percent reported unexpected physical and emotional changes during the postnatal period. This gap in support and information drove them to action.

Fuelled by a desire to enrich and support women’s health after childbirth, they developed Mumie—a web-based app designed to equip new mothers with crucial information and support systems to navigate motherhood confidently.

They have now launched a crowdfunding campaign which aims to underwrite ongoing operational costs and ensure that Mumie can continue to serve new mothers during this critical phase of development.

Sarah said: "By backing this project, you're not just funding an app; you're uplifting mothers across the UK, empowering them with knowledge, and reshaping the narrative around maternal health. Join us in making a tangible difference. Support Mumie, support mothers."
