My idea is designed for expectant or new mothers who need information about how to keep up their overall health during pregnancy or want to talk to someone going through the same thing. The hope would be to create a support group atmosphere where people can ask questions or post their own tips and any information they know to the app as a whole, or they can create their own separate messages of small groups or a single person. Not everyone wants to talk to a therapist or can afford it, so a free easy to access chat room might be a good alternative to let people talk out their frustrations or concerns so anything they are going through won't weigh down on them and affect their mental health. It will be something mothers can go to in need or to help others.

At what stage is your idea?
- Back of the Napkin Sketch: I came up with this concept and would love support in making it come to life!
What early, lightweight experiment might you try out in your own community to find out if the idea will meet your expectations?
Creating a website and posting fliers around the community to sign up if interested to see if it would work in one area before trying to advertise it to a whole country.What skills, input or guidance from the OpenIDEO community would be most helpful in building out or refining your idea?
I don't know anything about creating a website and I am a university student so any guidance from someone more experienced would be greatly appreciated.This idea emerged from...
