NEW YORK, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Elvie, the disruptive global FemTech health and wellness brand, releases "The Motherload: The weight of limited postpartum support," their first-ever report, in partnership with Mother.ly, putting the state of maternal health under the microscope. The study of over 1,000 women with children has uncovered a trio of serious pregnancy and postpartum challenges that mothers currently face.
Key Points:
- As a female-founded and female-grounded company, Elvie has worked tirelessly to empower women through radical female-first technology that harnesses their incredible biology.
- "With this new research, we're demonstrating something those mothers already know: postpartum care in the US is simply not good enough."
- Only 28% say they had good mental health during the postpartum period, but only 31% had professional mental health support.
- While mothers understand that postpartum challenges are guaranteed, they're often complicated by a lack of strong structural support and poor paid maternity leave policies.
