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."
