Here at Maternal Instincts, we care about you. We want you to have the support and care you need in order to have a healthy and safe pregnancy. We have teamed up with local doctors offices, mothers for peer support, translators and people to drive you to appointments, in order to make that possible.
Our mission:
We help pregnant mothers in low-income communities (specifically in New Bedford, MA) stay safe and healthy by providing nutrition education and support systems they can trust.
Our goals:
- Provide nutrition education for women in low socioeconomic areas to facilitate healthier food choices during pregnancy.
- Promote consumption of nutrient dense, healthy, yet low-cost foods to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
- Provide support for pregnant women in low socioeconomic areas to determine when getting medical attention is necessary.
- Create an environment of safety which allows pregnant women in low socioeconomic areas to get medical attention.
