Frequently Asked Questions
Hi, I am Dr. Aimée Field, a medical doctor and the founder of Hello Mama. I had a traumatic first birth and a difficult second pregnancy, and in both felt very alone. Even as a doctor, I wasn't fully aware of the emotional truth of pregnancy, and especially of postpartum and life with a newborn. That experience is why I started Hello Mama: to give mamas the fuller picture I wish I had, so you can feel prepared rather than blindsided. I believe mental health deserves the same attention as physical health throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and built Hello Mama to reflect that. I combine my clinical training with a genuine understanding of what moms actually need, to give you information that is trustworthy, accessible, and delivered with care.
Why Hello mama exists
Most moms are left to piece together pregnancy, birth, and postpartum information from Google searches and social media, sources that are inconsistent, unfiltered, and often built to alarm. It's easy to feel guilty for not keeping up with every trend, and to second-guess decisions that should feel simple. Finding information you can actually trust takes time and energy, and during this time, that's exactly what you don't have much of. Hello Mama was created to change that: one dedicated space where moms can find comprehensive, trustworthy information, explained in a way they can actually understand, without the fear.
