“When my wife was pregnant with our first child, I went to pregnancy courses.

We now have a team of over 20 obstetricians, gynecologists, doctors, lawyers, fitness trainers, providing access to evidence-based, practical information, translated into the 10 most popular languages of the world and adapted to take into account the legal and socio-cultural characteristics of each country and region. Our constant engagement with our users and strict editorial process has resonated with our audience that grew mostly organically.”
