See Her StoryMy Healthy Baby connects you with a family support provider who will give you free, personalized support during pregnancy and infancy.
How much fetal movement is normal?
Is my child reaching their milestones?
How can I afford formula?
Are my postpartum feelings normal?
Even with support from family and friends, having someone in your corner for every question, concern or need can be helpful to any mom.
This could include:
In-home meetings are conviently held on your schedule. Your provider come to you so it's one less thing to stress about.
Women across Indiana say their family support providers help them navigate pregnancy and beyond in a way that is informative, supportive, and respectful.
We know the kind of support one mom needs may be different from what another mom needs.
Together, you and your provider will decide how to best support you and your baby, as well as the topics to cover during visits.
It's a very vulnerable place to let your needs be known.

A family support provider is a trained professional who will share information, guidance and resources with you during your pregnancy and after your baby is born. Your provider will talk with you about how you’re feeling and your baby’s milestones. They will help you create a plan for how to reach your goals so you can be the best mom you can be. Our providers receive specialized training to support you as you support your child.
Yes! Moms often find it helpful for partners, family members or even friends to be involved during visits. The education and support you receive can help the entire family.
It’s best to get connected as soon as you find out you’re pregnant so you can receive the fullest range of support. Your family support provider meets with you throughout your pregnancy and after your baby is born unless you choose to opt out earlier. Staying in the program can help you feel confident as your baby grows and changes. The program is completely voluntary.
My Healthy Baby works with local family support provider programs across the state and the length of support a mom receives can vary based on what her local program offers. Most provider programs offer in-home support through at least the first year after the baby is born, while others offer support until the child turns two or three.
That’s right! My Healthy Baby is completely free. There is no cost to get connected to a family support provider or receive guidance and resources.
The phone representative from My Healthy Baby will be able to help you determine if you qualify for the program based on your county of residence. Only Indiana residents can qualify for this program.
Getting connected as early as possible in your pregnancy helps you get the education, services and support you need from the very start. Our moms who do this say that it helps them be extra prepared for the birth and caring for their new baby.
No, not at all. Just like My Healthy Baby, Medicaid wants your baby to have access to the best local family support available. That’s why working with My Healthy Baby will not affect your Medicaid coverage in any way.
Visits normally last about an hour, and may be weekly, every other week or once a month. How often you meet with your family support provider usually depends on your stage of pregnancy and your needs. During your first visit, you and your family support provider will get to know each other. You can also discuss how you’re feeling about your pregnancy. Together, you can decide the topics to cover during your visits.
To get connected, fill out the form. A My Healthy Baby representative will call you within three days to get you connected to a support provider.
