Peanut App Connects Women Connecting Women across fertility and motherhood The Peanut App facilitates conversations that women want and need to have. This downloaded app to your smartphone recognizes that motherhood isn't the only defining role in a woman’s life. It’s the best chapter in your book, but not the only one. One in eight women experience difficulty getting pregnant. One in four women experience a loss of a pregnancy. The Peanut App shines a light on an often silent struggle, launching a community created specifically for women trying to conceive. Women trying to conceive should be a support journey - not kept in the shadows, but met with shared experience, compassion and community. Peanut is a smart mobile solution for mamas to connect and learn from like-minded women. It shows you women in your neighborhood with similar-aged children and create matches based on shared interests. You can chat, arrange meetups and share experiences based on meaningful topics with women from around the world. For more info, visit their website . Downtown Uma Center AirBnB is now available!
