The short answer
Most pregnancy questions come down to whether something is normal. Phia can help you sort what can wait for your next visit from what needs a call today. Some signs, like trouble breathing, chest pain, bleeding, or your baby moving less, need care right away.

How Phia helps
Text Phia your question in your own words, any time. Phia’s AI care agent answers first and keeps track of what you share. When you need more, a nurse or another Phia provider can join the same text thread.
Chat with Phia’s providers is included in the $19 a month membership. Some Pennsylvania Medicaid plans cover Phia when Phia has a contract with the plan, and covered members typically pay nothing. Phia works alongside your OB or midwife. It does not replace prenatal care, and in-person visits are not included.
How it works
Every conversation starts with a text. If it needs a clinician, one joins the same thread, so you never repeat yourself or switch apps.
