Support your people through pregnancy and beyond

Pregnancy, birth and early parenthood are exciting, but they can also be overwhelming. People are balancing new symptoms, appointments, physical changes, sleep disruption and emotional ups and downs while still trying to perform at work. Many worry about how to start conversations with their manager or feel unsure where to turn for support.

Peppy gives your people private access to experienced midwives, health visitors, international board-certified lactation consultants, mental health support and evidence-based guidance – all in one easy-to-use app. It helps reduce stress, improve confidence and create a smoother path back into work.

This is support that helps growing families feel steady and supported, and gives organisations the reassurance that their people are cared for through one of life’s biggest transitions.

Why pregnancy and parenthood support matters for workplaces

Pregnancy and parenthood affect far more than the first few weeks. The right support can positively transform the experience.

USER TESTIMONIAL

“I should also say a big thank you! When he was 6 weeks old and I was so close to giving up I never thought we would still be going a year later and it’s definitely only because of your help back then! I always speak about our breastfeeding journey and how we wouldn’t be here now without your support in those early crazy days.”
