Would You Want Professional Help in Early Months?

[Taylor Davis]

We are part of an MBA student group studying how to help pregnant mothers.
We think that it would be really helpful for new mothers, especially working mothers, if they had a service (similar to Care.com) where they could get access to experienced mothers/grandmothers in their area to help them with advice, night help, light housecleaning, infant care.
We know of no great service that offers this kind of help.

• If there were a service like this, would you want to use it?
• What would you use it for?
• What is the price-point that would be right/fair for you?

Thanks for helping us out with your feedback!
(Please know this is not a product solicitation--this is a study into the needs of new mothers).

Sounds like a Doula...

I had BAD PND ( i was hospitalized for 3 1/2 months when d's was 9 months) i would have paid for help looking back i may not have got so stressed out-i also have physical health problems. .

I would liked someone to just come in and sort house and help me as a first time mum get into a rotine. My auntie came round and my parents and watched d's for 3-4 hour so I could sleep he was up every 2.5 hours till 9 months when we went to hospital. So I think my psychosis was caused by sleep deprecation initially.
