WellVine: Your trusted health partner through the ups and downs of pregnancy and motherhood*

WellVine launches free health Q&A service, connecting to you to real doctors for bespoke support

www.wellvine.co.uk

Once upon a time, in a land not far away (well, actually…just down the road from you), lived a mum with her husband and two little children. She was once pregnant like you, she loves her children intensely much like you do yours, she is passionate and driven as you are about the things that matter and frankly, like you - she probably deserves a ‘superwoman of the week’ award one of these days. O, and one more thing – she worries. She worries about balancing children, family, friends and all that life throws at her. But most of all, she worries about the health and safety of her children. This may sound familiar because these are the stories we heard from women like you.

The founder of WellVine, Hina, pregnant with her first baby, found herself constantly worrying about pregnancy niggles. And this is before she has a real life, kicking, screaming baby! Increasingly frustrated at the lack of ready access to expert pregnancy advice, she spoke to many mothers and mothers-to-be. The stories about their health worries sounded so similar that they all kind of blended into one – long waits for GP appointments for them or their children; lack of trustworthy information online, often confusing due to conflicting perspectives; and a struggle to even find time to go to the doctor given our busy lives. Women like you knew what they wanted…that access to real experts – at their fingertips – would make their lives easier. So WellVine was launched.

WellVine was built on a simple idea: Connecting women like you to vetted and experienced doctors and health experts online, giving you access to bespoke health support – anytime, anywhere.  It’s like having a personal doctor – and a range of health experts – at your fingertips, to answer all your queries. WellVine is offering a free trial of the service on an invitation-only basis until 5^th November 2014. Speaking to the lovely Alex, we knew that the readers of Bump to Baby would find this service valuable – so we extend a warm invitation to you to visit WellVine and try it for yourself, for free until 5^th November 2014.
