The problem PregaWhisper solves

At Project Pregawhispers, our vision is to create a supportive environment for midwives, enabling them to deliver the best possible care to expectant mothers. By fostering a sense of community and providing instant access to resources and expert advice, we aim to improve the overall experience of pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal care.

Challenges we ran into

5 women in India die every hour during childbirth: WHO.Livebirth decreased by 1.3 points (90.2% vs. 88.9%), and nearly half of the Indian states/UTs (n = 17/36) had lower than the national average of livebirth (88.9%) reported during 2019-21. A higher proportion of pregnancy loss was noted, particularly miscarriages increased in both urban (6.4% vs. 8.5%) and rural areas (5.3% vs. 6.9%), and stillbirth increased by 28.6% (0.7% vs. 0.9%). The Population Council study in Uttar Pradesh found that most deliveries took place in situations in which it would be difficult to identify or respond to obstetric complications. Close to 90 percent of deliveries took place at home, and in nearly half these cases family members or kin delivered the babies.
