A Mother’s Lifeline- Amwell Medical Services
As a Mom of 6 kids, time is something I am always short of, and of course it’s even worst when the kids are sick. I don’t know about your Family, but in mine; when one kid gets sick they all follow suit. This is why I truly believe in the title of my post: A Mother’s Lifeline- Amwell Medical Services
I remember when they were very little, I used to panic all the time and rush to the emergency rooms with all 6 of my kids, oh the memories of having all the kids miserable for no reason. This is why I am so happy to be a part of an ongoing partnership with Amwell because I get to share about a company that I am passionate about and that I truly value. I have personally used and rely on Amwell’s online services to help me when one or all of my kids are feeling ill.
A Mother’s Lifeline- Amwell Medical Services
What are Amwell Medical Services?
Amwell is the nation’s largest telehealth company, connecting users with board-certified, licensed doctors for immediate and live, online visits—day or night, on either mobile or desktop. Some general conditions our doctors encounter include: minor illnesses and injuries, general health and wellness concerns, prescription refills, and chronic condition management. We employ primary care and specialist physicians, as well as licensed behavioral therapists and registered dietitians, to meet our patients’ health and wellness needs.
Amwell gives me the ability to be able to have my children “seen” by a professional and all from the comfort of my own couch. I can cuddle my little ones, and get answers to my urgent questions at the same time.
Does that not sound like an amazing alternative to the other options?
With Amwell’s online medical teams, I can have a consultation for any type of ailment or illness, as well as the all too frequent daredevil stunt gone wrong by one of my kids. As my previous post showed, they also offer lactation consultations for the Mother’s most important questions.

I love how online medical services are becoming accessible now! Sometimes you just don’t have the ability to visit a practice, especially late at night! And something like this, especially for mothers, would be essential
Tara Pittman (@momknowsbest15) says
I love using video doctors. It has save us so much time
jenny at dapperhouse says
I really need this service! I have an eye injury which causes me to get “pink eye” often and it takes SO LONG to get to the doctors office, wait in the waiting room, wait in the room and then have them write me the same old prescription. I cant wait to use amwell and save TONS of time.
parentingpatch says
I had no idea that Amwell was the nation’s largest telehealth company. Amwell sounds like a great alternative to rushing your kiddos to the ER.
Lynzy & Co says
This is a super cool concept and a great thing. My little daredevils could totally use this. Thanks for sharing such a cool concept.
Blair Villanueva says
Thank you for sharing this news! I will save this for future resources.
Sarah Bailey says
I think these telehealth services are such a great idea, so much better than turning to doctor google.
Claudia Krusch says
Amwell sounds like a great way to see a Doctor. Sometimes I can not get an appointment for weeks at my family Doctor. I will have to give this a try.
Theresa Sutton says
Amwell is such an amazing service. I know there are so many times that I have not felt well and wanted to do a doctor’s visit.
Adaleta Avdić says
Well that is really cool, I feel like I learn something new everyday!
planningthemagic says
Wow this sounds so convenient. I love it because I really hate going to the DRs.
homemadeforelle says
I am a working mom, and find it challenging to coordinate time away from work, with my kids pulled out of school, and have wanted an option like this. Thanks for sharing!
Anosa Malanga VA says
This is what I love about technology. A good way to immediately address a sickness and no need to go to hospital. Such very helpful for those who are very far or can’t carry and take their kids immediately to the hospital or clinics.
Leigh Anne says
I have not heard of Amwell before. Love the convenience of being able to do this at home.
emsry14 says
This is awesome! I used to work as a RN in an Emergency Room and I cannot even begin to count how many times I saw kids brought in for non-emergencies. Services like this can truly help ease the burden of emergency room services so we can treat real emergencies more efficiently.
Liz Cleland says
When my son was very poor off with an ear infection we used this service. I didn’t want to drag him into the office when we were pretty certain that was what was wrong. They helped up quickly and got the medication he needed without all the hassle.
Madelain says
Wow this is a great service. And what an offer, 50% off is a steal!!

Hey Sharonoox says
This is great info! Sounds like this service will keep mother’s worry at bay. I’m going to check out this service if it’s available where I lived.
Raluca Lenghel Covaci says
A mom’s job never ends – we need our mom ALWAYS no matter how old we are, but especially when we get sick. It’s important to know that you have a good medical service that you can trust and rely on these days, especially with everything that’s going on in the world and I am glad you found that one.
Ana De-Jesus says
Amwell sounds brilliant, especially since it can sometimes take hours at the hospitals or days to get an appointment at the GP. So wonderful that a seasoned professional can give you peace of mind online x
simplysensationalfood says
This sounds like a great service that would be very useful to use.
Rhian Westbury says
These sort of things are so good when it comes to piece of mine. You can rest in the knowledge that everything will be okay without having to rush to the doctors surgery x
Aimee Geroux says
Such a great service for those who need it. We don’t have anything like that here in Canada that I can think of. We do however have doctors who make house visits if you are too sick to leave home. Thankfully all our medical care is covered by our health care system.
EG III says
What a great idea, especially for a busy parent who doesn’t always have time to pack up all the troops and head out to the doctor’s office. Are you able to get prescriptions through this service as well?
Ellie Chan says
Wow! That must be lots of work and worry if one of your little ones gets sick, that’s a great service to be able to have a consultation from home! Oh the days of pretending we were daredevils climbing and jumping out of trees and scaling climbing frames… and the bumps and injuries that came from them!
thesaltymamas says
Do they handle “Man Colds” as well? (kidding ;)) But YES! This would be great! Thank you for sharing!
Joanna says
This is an interesting and useful service, especially for moms like you, with many children. It’s great that you can simply connect with a doctor on your tablet and don’t have to go to the hospital, where you risk coming back with other viruses.
Katie Kinsley says
Being able to have this service to quickly call in a time of need is very necessary in today’s world. It is good to know that a service like this exists.
Maranda says
This is awesome I have never heard of this! I could really use this!
Claire (@clairebeary94) says
Never heard, but I think choosing the right medical service is important!
Liza Perry says
Mom of 6 wow Im impressed! You’re right it is important to get the best info with kids!
babiestobookworms says
This is an awesome resource. I have had so many questions in the two years since becoming a mom. Having doctors on call for me would be helpful!
Aduke Schulist says
I like the availability of these services. I have yet to use one, because most of the stuff I need answers for require actually going in, but this is great.
Nay @ beautyaddictmama says
This sounds like a really useful idea for busy mums. Totally agree about panicking when they are little. I was forever doing this with my two. Still do!
Violinkit says
What a great idea this is. Amwell seems like a life saver and takes the trauma and panic away from unexpected illness in children especially those that develop suddenly overnight where the parent is in a panic etc. I wish this service had been around when my kids were small.
bestiesnotepad says
Am gonna share this one with some of my friends..thanks for the info!
Naya @ Lactivist in Louboutins says
This is such a great option for mamas! Sometimes getting out to the doctor can be especially difficult, I love the idea of a medical professional being available online!
chelf says
what an exellent service! Good to know all the option aout there especially if you are a busy mom of 6! wow!lucky you!
Via Bella says
Does insurance cover this? I wish it did because not all families can afford separate “insurance” but that being said, if it is equal to co pay, definitely is worth it!

alisonrost says
This is the first time I’ve heard of Amwell and it seems like such a wonderful service! When I’m sick, the thought of mobilizing to even make it to the doctor’s office can be daunting. Especially when it’s not a life and death emergency and nobody is bleeding. I’ll definitely be looking into this service further! x
Jasmine - LoveLifeLaughMotherhood says
sounds like a good service, i’ll have to look into them
Lily @militaryfamof8 says
Literally laughed out loud at this one! Those “Man colds” are going to kill my sanity lol!
