Inspiration behind Femaissance

Everyone talks about the miracle of childbirth and pregnancy glows, but not many speak about the never-ending aches and pains, and insomnia that go along with it. A woman’s body goes through a lot during pregnancy, and while the female body is built to handle such a miraculous event, it is by no means a comfortable experience to go through. Even healthy women can experience problems during pregnancy and after that as well. It is just something that happens. While most pregnancy problems are common and experienced by expectant mothers, it is always best to keep your doctor updated on changes that you may be experiencing and get advice.

So considering the issues every women comes across regardless of being from urban or rural areas, we have come up with an initiative called Femaissance which would not only help women to connect to each other and lift up their overwhelming changes but also connect and contact expertise across the globe.

This platform would give freedom to its users to post ,like, comment and share to increase awareness among all womens.
