“This program has changed my life. I decided to come on board. I am a mother of 3 kids and I was pregnant with my 4th. I mainly speak Spanish so I have always been nervous about going to the doctor because they don’t understand me. The translators at Maternal Instincts were smart and helpful. I am not afraid anymore.”

“I work as peer support with Maternal Instincts. I am 56 years old. I have 2 kids of my own and I have 5 grandbabies. I wanted to help out my community. I have a lot to offer. I was able to meet many pregnant women who benefitted from my guidance and I am still in contact with many of them today!”

“I am a new mom. I found Maternal Instincts through my friend Tina. She participated in another city. I decided to look into them and discovered that they were enrolling a new program near me! I was very excited. As a Black, pregnant woman, there is a lot of prejudice against me in the medical system. I am so happy I found peer support from seasoned mothers near me. They helped me determine when to go to the doctor and they filled in some gaps that the doctors could not help me with. I am so happy I found this program. I have made lifelong friends.”
