Alejandra’s Story

Alejandra, a first-time mother, was referred to Healthier Moms and Babies after discovering she was pregnant with twins. Facing a high-risk pregnancy, financial stress, and uncertainty about motherhood, she sought support to navigate this new chapter in her life. Through Healthier Moms and Babies, Alejandra connected with her Family Advocate, Erika, who provided critical education on nutrition, monitoring blood pressure for complications, and preparing for life with twins. This guidance empowered Alejandra to recognize signs of preeclampsia, leading to a timely medical intervention and a safe delivery at 37 weeks of two healthy baby girls.

With the support of Healthier Moms and Babies, Alejandra transitioned into motherhood with greater confidence, gaining knowledge on child development, safe sleep practices, and emotional well-being. She expressed deep gratitude for Healthier Moms and Babies’ role in her journey, acknowledging that without their services, she would have faced overwhelming uncertainty. Today, her daughters are thriving, and Alejandra continues to rely on the foundation of education and support she received. She hopes Healthier Moms and Babies’s services reach more families, knowing firsthand the profound impact they can have in ensuring a healthy and supported start to motherhood.
