Poppy Seed Health is an online resource center that provides 24/7 access to birthing professionals—doulas, nurses, and midwives—who guide you through the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum parenting, and miscarriage.

What we love: Poppy Seed Health connects you with birthing advocates for 30-minute private text sessions, during which you can share your experiences with experts who can answer your biggest questions. If you’d rather do some research on your own, the app has a library of articles on topics like lactation, epidurals, postpartum depression, newborn care, and more.

Quick tip: Are you a birthing professional? Sign up to be a Poppy Seed Advocate and help guide pregnant and postpartum people through both their toughest and most amazing moments.
