6. New brand discovery: Life postpartum
Two mums have joined forces to tackle the gap in the postpartum care offered to women in the first 12 months after giving birth, by launching a new brand dedicated to addressing the health and wellbeing needs of new mothers. Hanna Pumfrey and Hannah Thomson have co-founded Life Postpartum, a health and wellbeing subscription service developed specifically to support mothers with their emotional, physical and nutritional requirements post-birth, as well as provide access to expert, midwife-led baby advice.
After welcoming their own children the two friends realised that, while expectant parents are offered ample support and guidance when it comes to pregnancy and birth, the same can’t be said for postpartum care. This lack of post-birth care has driven the duo to launch the new online service, which offers a series of affordable, accessible and personalised subscription-based membership packages, to provide women with bespoke exercise and rehabilitation plans and nourishing recipes, as well as trusted advice on key topics like pelvic floor recovery, hormonal analysis and reporting, all of which is specially tailored to the postpartum stage they’re in.
