mMitra gave Anuja hope despite challenges in her pregnancy

Being a first-time expectant mother, 35-year-old Anuja Aouti from Panvel (Maharshtra) found solace and guidance through mMitra calls she started receiving in the third month of her pregnancy. Anuja recalls how mMitra calls offered insights into pregnancy-related changes even before they manifested, aiding her in making necessary adjustments. She adapted her dietary habits, adding eggs despite a childhood aversion to non-vegetarian food, after learning about their nutritional benefits through mMitra.

Anuja developed a high fever and infection, leading to a hospital admission for four days. Complications necessitated a cesarean delivery at the Sion Hospital, despite the absence of labour or stomach pains. Despite all these challenges, Anuja delivered a healthy baby boy weighing 2.800 kg. Following mMitra’s guidance, she initiated breastfeeding within an hour of delivery, recognising its importance for her newborn’s health.

She credits mMitra’s calls for equipping her with crucial information and enabling a positive pregnancy experience, despite the challenges she encountered. 

mMitra is ARMMAN’s free mobile voice call service that sends timed and targeted preventive care information weekly/bi-weekly directly to the phones of enrolled women through pregnancy and infancy in their chosen language and timeslot.
