Persia Shahkarami is a mum and the founder of Yune, the pregnancy learning app for first-time mums. During her first pregnancy she read stacks of books, went to NCT classes and still found herself Googling at 2am, often landing on advice that didn't match the NHS. She created Yune to make learning about pregnancy simpler: short quizzes built on NHS guidance that help the important things stick. She writes about pregnancy, birth and life with a newborn from a UK mum's point of view.
