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 to push back when something didn’t feel right - from questioning my iron levels during pregnancy to making an informed decision about an early induction that was suggested by my OB."
5 star rating
“There is not enough support for moms in the US, and the Pomelo group is helping fix that void. I wish every new mom, or even second or third time mom, would have a group like this supporting them virtually 24 hours a day.”
