St. Luke’s Hospital launches The Real Moms of Eastern Iowa

Mar. 5, 2012 9:12 am
St. Luke's Hospital is excited to announce the launch of The Real Moms of Eastern Iowa blog, therealmomsofeasterniowa.com, an interactive online community for moms and moms-to-be.
The first of its kind in Cedar Rapids, The Real Moms of Eastern Iowa follows the day-to-day experiences of five Eastern Iowa women and covers anything and everything relating to motherhood.
Focusing on the trials and tribulations of being a new parent - be it a first-timer or a mommy with a newborn and other kids at home, discussion topics include everything from learning you're expecting to sleepless nights and all the moments in between. Real moms in our community can also share their stories, exchange information and provide support to each other.
"Every mom, whether she is a first-timer or not, has questions at one point or another,” said Laura Rainey, St. Luke's Marketing Communications director. “This is a place where women can follow the stories of our five featured moms, as well as ask questions, get advice and share their own experiences." It's a great way for the community to interact and learn."
The blog includes links to the Hospital's Facebook and Twitter profiles, as well as links to the hospital website, where they can get expert medical advice and information.
St. Luke's Marketing Communications staff ensures topics are appropriate for the blog and corrects grammar mistakes but hospital officials do not edit content.
To follow the blog visit therealmomsofeasterniowa.com. For more information about St. Luke's, visit stlukescr.org.
