My Quote
Mothers should trust their intuition!
About Me
I created the Mamawell website (www.mamawell.com) as a dedicated resource for pregnant and postpartum mothers. After my first pregnancy, I found the postpartum period to be a generally isolating period, with so much attention focused on the baby and so little attention focused on the recovering mother. After my second child, the site really started to take off with subjects that try to bridge the gap between the medical and alternative world. If East could meet West for pregnant and postpartum mothers, this is where it would be. I am 36 years old and live in the New York area with my husband and two kids. I LOVE comments and feedbacks and encourages all women to trust their intuition!
