Today, we're celebrating an incredible milestone: over 100,000 mothers have trusted BabyGuard to help them navigate product safety during pregnancy. What started as a personal mission to help expecting mothers has grown into a movement that's transforming pregnancy safety worldwide.
But this isn't just about numbers. It's about you – every mother who's scanned a product at 2 AM, every partner who's researched ingredients, every family that's made safer choices for their growing baby. This is your story as much as it is ours.
By the Numbers: Our Collective Impact
Stories from Our Community
Every scan, every safe choice, every healthy baby – these are the stories that drive us forward. Here are just a few from our incredible community:
"I discovered my favorite face cream contained retinol on my first scan. BabyGuard potentially saved my baby from serious birth defects. I tell every pregnant friend about this app."
"As a mom of three, I thought I knew everything about pregnancy safety. BabyGuard showed me ingredients I'd never even heard of. It's like having a toxicologist in my pocket."
"Living in a small town with limited healthcare access, BabyGuard gave me confidence I was making safe choices. It's been a lifeline during my pregnancy journey."
"My wife had severe morning sickness, and finding safe products was overwhelming. BabyGuard made it simple. We could focus on her health instead of endless research."

A Personal Note from Our Founder
"When I was pregnant with my first child, I spent countless hours researching every product, often finding conflicting information. I knew there had to be a better way. Today, seeing 100,000 mothers using BabyGuard, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.
Each of you is part of something bigger – a movement to make pregnancy safer for all women, regardless of their location, income, or access to healthcare. You're not just users; you're pioneers in a new era of informed, empowered pregnancy.
To every mother who's trusted us with this precious time in your life: thank you. To the babies you're protecting: welcome to a safer world. And to the mothers we haven't reached yet: we're coming.
Here's to the next 100,000 – and the million after that."
– Sarah Mitchell, CEO & Co-founder
