MotherCare · Maternal health membership
Care that comes home, from pregnancy to three months after birth.
Nurse-midwife home visits, a weekly check-in with your own care navigator, and rides to your appointments. One membership, so you never face pregnancy or the first months with your baby alone.
How MotherCare works
1
Talk to a navigator
We confirm you live in our service area, learn about your pregnancy, and help you pick the plan that fits your stage.
2
Meet your nurse at home
Within 5 working days, your nurse-midwife visits for a full check and your welcome kit, and builds your visit schedule.
3
Supported every week
Visits, check-ins and rides through birth and the first three months with your baby, working alongside your doctor or midwife.
Every week
Someone checks in on you, every single week
Your care navigator calls or video chats each week to ask how you feel, remind you of appointments and answer your questions. Message on WhatsApp in between, and call our nurse line day or night if something feels wrong.
Premium add-on
Arrive calm, comfortable and on time
Add MotherCare Transport to any plan and travel the way you deserve: a private, air-conditioned car with a vetted driver, collecting you at your door and taking you straight to your check-ups, scans, tests and your baby's immunisations. No crowded buses, no haggling, no waiting in the sun.
- Door-to-door, just for you, with room for one companion
- Booked for you by your navigator, timed to your appointment

After birth
Care for you and your baby in the first three months
Your nurse visits within 72 hours of coming home, then again through the weeks that matter most. She checks your recovery and blood pressure, weighs your baby, and helps with breastfeeding and newborn care.

Every membership includes
The same care on every plan. Plans differ only in how long they last.
Nurse-midwife home visits
A licensed nurse-midwife checks your blood pressure, urine, weight, baby's heartbeat and growth, and screens for warning signs. More visits late in pregnancy and in the first weeks after birth, when you need them most.
Weekly check-ins
A call or video every week with your own care navigator, plus WhatsApp support 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
Premium add-on: MotherCare Transport
A private, air-conditioned car with a vetted driver, door-to-door to your appointments, to hospital in labour and home with your baby. Available on request for an additional fee.
Pregnancy and postpartum support
A birth plan made with you by 32 weeks, breastfeeding help, newborn care coaching and a recovery plan for you.
Health monitoring
Your readings are recorded at every visit. If anything is outside a safe range, we contact your doctor or facility the same day.
Care coordination
We book appointments and tests, send reminders, share visit notes with your doctor when you agree, and refer you to trusted specialists.
Mind, nutrition and wellness
Regular mood checks with referral to a perinatal mental health professional, personal nutrition guidance, and monthly classes, including one for partners.
MotherCare Resources

Sponsor a Mother
Many mothers cannot afford care at home. Your gift gives a mother the same visits, check-ins, rides and 24/7 line as every member.
Every MotherCare membership also helps: half of our programme surplus funds free places for mothers in need.
US dollar amounts are approximate and charged at the exchange rate on the day you pay.

Questions
Who can join? expand_more
Women aged 18 or over who are pregnant or within 6 weeks of giving birth and live in our service area. MotherCare is for mothers of all income levels, and every member receives the same premium care. We work alongside your doctor or midwife; if you are not yet registered for antenatal care, we will help you register.
Does MotherCare replace my hospital or clinic? expand_more
No. MotherCare supports the care you receive from your doctor or midwife. It does not cover hospital or clinic fees, delivery, scans, laboratory tests, medicines or emergency care.
What happens in an emergency? expand_more
MotherCare is not an emergency service. Call our 24/7 line and the state ambulance service, and go to the nearest emergency facility. Our on-call nurse will guide you and contact your hospital. If you have MIHEI HMO cover, your emergency transport is already covered.
Is transport included? expand_more
MotherCare Transport is a premium add-on, available on request for an additional fee and provided with our partner transport company. You travel in a private, air-conditioned car with a vetted driver, door-to-door. Ask your navigator for the price for your area, then book at least 24 hours ahead for appointments, scans, tests and your baby's immunisations. Your ride to hospital in labour can be planned in advance. In an emergency, call the state ambulance service and go to the nearest hospital.
How do the rides work? expand_more

Can I cancel? expand_more

What if my pregnancy ends? expand_more
We are deeply sorry for your loss. You choose what happens next: a full refund of your unused months, or continued care focused on your recovery and wellbeing. Just call your navigator.
What if my baby comes early? expand_more
Your plan moves straight into postpartum care, so you do not lose any of your visits.
How do I pay? expand_more
By card or bank transfer. Family abroad can pay in US dollars at the exchange rate on the day they pay: WhatsApp +234 903 056 6916 to arrange a USD payment.
