Ms. Singleton found Abide through a nonprofit ultrasound center when she went to confirm her pregnancy. She told them she wanted care from a Black-owned provider and didn’t have insurance — and they shared Abide’s information. She stopped by on her lunch break just to learn more, and Abide had an opening that same day. That became her very first prenatal appointment, at only eight weeks pregnant. From that moment, Abide took care of her through her entire pregnancy and six weeks postpartum. As a first-time mom, she was listened to, supported, and respected in what she wanted for her birth. When she tried seeing another provider closer to home, it wasn’t the same. “I felt like just a number, and I didn’t feel heard,” she said. She came back to Abide. After her birth, Abide connected her with a postpartum doula and lactation support, and shared resources she never would have found on her own. “Knowing I have trusted people I can reach out to has made motherhood feel less overwhelming.”
