Physicians News Health news for doctors and patients.
Like most women, Morgan Klipper from Cheltenham, PA
works a busy eight- to 10-hour day, then drives home to cook dinner, put
a load of laundry in the washing machine, and do a quick sweep of the
kitchen floor.
So when she was eight months pregnant, she was relieved to log onto Holy
Redeemer’s new online mom’s club on yourebeautifulbaby.com called JUST4MOMS, which offers
health information about moms and baby with just a click of the mouse,
saving time and stress.
“The site was easy to navigate because the information is clearly
divided into categories,” says Klipper. “It certainly saved me a lot of
time. I loved that it provided good, basic information and interactive
tools-all in one place. Having a convenient site like this for moms who
are constantly on-the-go is a big help.”
JUST4MOMS features include:
* An animated Healthy Pregnancy Guide that reveals what’s in store for
mom and baby in the coming months. This guide will take you through five
stages of pregnancy, divided into sets of weeks, each offering helpful
tips and information.
* Educational videos that offer a variety of topics including common
changes during pregnancy, exercise during pregnancy, amniocentesis, and
labor and delivery.
* Audio podcasts on women’s and children’s health topics that are
updated monthly to keep JUST4MOMS members current on the latest health
and wellness information.
* A variety of helpful tools, such as due date calculators, baby name
finders, a directory of Holy Redeemer obstetricians and pediatricians,
online registration for childbirth classes, a babysitter checklist.
* And much more!
“Most expecting women already have full schedules. They juggle work,
personal lives, and often, other children. Having an online resource to
answer their pregnancy questions, sponsored by their trusted community
hospital, saves time and provides them with useful information,” says
Marian Thallner, vice president of women’s and children’s services, Holy
Redeemer Health System.
In addition, the new online mom’s club offers a free Parent Review
E-newsletter. Women can sign up on the website to receive informative,
weekly updates specific to their week of pregnancy. This personal guide
to motherhood offers tips, advice, shopping information and
developmental guides.
The Maternity Center at Holy Redeemer Hospital and Medical Center delivers about 3,000 babies each year.
