I’m a currently going through a first-time pregnancy while single and working full-time for a boutique IBank. Between the challenges of the pregnancy (and the persistent morning sickness well into 2nd trimester) and the demands of my in-person job, I’ve got my hands full. Looking for support, encouragement and wisdom from my fellow moms. Thanks in advance for giving this community a try.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace?

Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?
