Surrounded by Support

There are lots of people in the community who can help prepare families for the hospital and support them once they are home. Everyone should know about what resources can help mothers succeed. Care teams could include:

Champion

A key person (the baby’s father, grandmother, etc.) can support mom along the way.

Community Resources

Classes and groups can help families prepare during pregnancy and after the baby is born.

Friends & Family

The people closest to mom and her champion can help them prepare and support them once they get home with their new baby.

WIC & Home Visiting

These programs provide pregnant women and new mother’s with certain income levels special support and nutritious foods.

Your Doctor or Midwife

Mom’s healthcare provider plays an important role in helping her set and meet her goals.

Baby’s Doctor

The baby’s doctor can help her reach her goals once she leaves the hospital.
