In India every year, there are couples who go through unintended pregnancy. Unintended pregnancy is a pregnancy that is either (i) unwanted, such as the pregnancy occurred when no or no more children were desired, or (ii) a mistimed pregnancy, that is, the pregnancy occurred earlier than desired. The instilled conservative attitude towards such mishaps in Indian families is such that, a couple is prone to trying to confront the problem on their own, it being against the society’s rules on such issues, rather than taking guidance from the right people through some medium/portal. This project aims to connect such couples or families to the world where we make them feel comfortable just like our own family members and thus help them in taking expert advice from gynecologists.
