My Community

All new parents need a helping hand and support from their community. And communities need families and children in order to thrive. Life in the U.S. with a baby, however, can be lonely. Getting out of the house or apartment to find and connect with other people can be very helpful. Too hard to get out? See our connecting section for some ideas to find community from your couch. Are you already networked? Perhaps you can lead the way in helping other women and families meet up.

Babies are wonderful and also expensive. While there is no price on love, the stress of the extra expenses for diapers, food, medical expenses, child care and more is overwhelming to MANY new families. This section offers some ideas for community resources that might be available to help.

Faith Communities

Apr 19, 2023
Many churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples have a commitment to children and families. If you are already part of a spiritual community, see what they have to offer.

Welcome to NewMomHealth.com™

We envision a world where every woman receives the social, emotional, physical, and economic support she needs to successfully transition through the postpartum period and into her new identity and life as a mother. Health care systems, businesses, and society should value and respect women not only for what they bring to families, communities, and nations but also for who they are in and of themselves.
