The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently launched Moms.gov, a website for new and expecting mothers that includes a directory that connects users to local pregnancy centers.
The site, launched on Mother’s Day, offers guidance for those facing pregnancy decisions and seeks to support the health and well-being of moms and their families.
“The Trump Administration is strengthening its commitment to America’s families by equipping mothers and fathers with the resources and information they need to build healthy, prosperous lives,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “Moms.gov delivers critical tools and support to help parents foster healthy pregnancies, strengthen young families, and create brighter futures for their children.”
Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger (R-Tennessee), a pharmacist and pro-life advocate, attended the official launch of the site alongside Trump administration officials. In 2025, Harshbarger reintroduced the Pregnancy.gov Act, which has not been passed into law and has not advanced through the full congressional process. However, supporters say the new Moms.gov website reflects many of the same goals outlined in the legislation, including connecting expectant mothers with prenatal care, parenting support, adoption information and pregnancy assistance resources through a centralized government platform.
“Having a baby is one of God’s greatest gifts, and no mother should ever face that blessing alone and afraid. I introduced the Pregnancy.gov Act because I knew that getting the right information to a woman at the right moment could change what happens next,” said Harshbarger.“I’m proud that the Trump administration embraced the vision behind my legislation and turned it into a trusted, life-affirming resource that can help connect women and families to the care and support they need.”
On the Moms.gov website, a section that features access to pregnancy centers and Federally Qualified Health Centers is prominent on the home page.
The site describes pregnancy centers as organizations that provide supportive services for mothers and families. It goes on to note that many centers offer “pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STD/STI testing and treatment, parenting support, childbirth classes, medical referrals, and material goods like clothes and diapers at no cost to you.”
Year after year, pregnancy centers continue to offer steadfast, professional care and compassion to women and families. Supporters of Moms.gov say the site will connect even more people to this life-affirming support.
In the 2025 Helping Communities Flourish report, Care Net documented how its network of more than 1,200 centers alleviates social service burdens on local government, facilitates public health, builds healthy families, and serves clients without regard to age, race, or other arbitrary circumstances.
In a recent report, Care Net’s network provided health and social services to 452,781 women, men, and families. Some of the highlights for the year included:
- 219,247 pregnancy tests
- 173,293 ultrasounds
- 3,713,690 clients received baby and maternal supplies
- 331,102 students received sexual health education
- 96,733 clients received parenting education
In regard to the new Moms.gov website, Rebekah Gantner, Government Affairs and Public Policy Manager for Americans United for Life, said it will provide an easy way for women and families to navigate resources while complementing the already impactful work of pregnancy centers.
“By utilizing this tool, pregnancy centers can extend their reach to better support their life-saving mission and empower mothers and fathers in choosing life and sustaining healthy families.”
