Patient testimonials

"I’m not exaggerating when I say the Pomelo Care team got me through the hardest times of pregnancy, feeding my newborn, and postpartum in general. They educated me about what questions to ask my OB. And helped me push back when something didn’t feel right, from questioning my iron levels during pregnancy to making an informed decision about an early induction."
“There is not enough support for moms in the U.S., and Pomelo is helping fix that. I wish every new mom, or even second- or third-time mom, would have a group like this supporting them 24 hours a day.”

Testimonios de pacientes

No exagero cuando digo que el equipo de Pomelo Care me ayudó a superar los momentos más difíciles del embarazo, a alimentar a mi bebé y con el período de posparto en general. Me guiaron con las preguntas que debía hacerle a mi obstetra. También me ayudaron a prever situaciones cuando algo no estaba bien, desde cuestionar mis niveles de hierro durante el embarazo hasta tomar una decisión informada sobre un parto inducido”.
“En Estados Unidos no hay suficiente apoyo para las mamás, y Pomelo está ayudando a solucionarlo. Desearía que todas las mamás por primera vez, o incluso las mamás por segunda o tercera vez, tuvieran un grupo como este que las apoya las 24 horas del día”.
