Patient testimonials

5 star rating
"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."
5 star rating
 “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

“Sin exagerar, el equipo de Pomelo Care me ayudó a superar los momentos más difíciles del embarazo, la alimentación de mi bebé recién nacido y el posparto en general. Me aconsejaron qué preguntas hacerle a mi obstetra. Y me indicaron que debía mostrar mi desacuerdo cuando algo parecía no estar bien, desde cuestionar mis niveles de hierro durante el embarazo hasta tomar una decisión informada sobre una inducción temprana sugerida por mi obstetra”.
“No hay suficiente apoyo para las mamás en los EE. UU., y el grupo de Pomelo está ayudando a solucionar eso. Ojalá todas las mamás primerizas o incluso las que son madres por segunda o tercera vez tuvieran un grupo como este que les brinde apoyo las 24 horas”.
