Hey Mama! A Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Babies is a series of three books created for women planning to deliver their babies at the Boston Medical Center, designed by students in Lisa Rosowsky’ Graphic Design Print Production course at MCAD, in collaboration with staff at the Boston Medical Center Childbirth Education Program. The books help facilitate communication between pregnant women and their doctors and midwives. Topics include pregnancy, labor and delivery, as well as the basic care of newborns. The design and production of this book was completed in 2008.

A goal of the project was for the guide to effectively reach a multilingual population with low health-literacy, from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

Students designed a set of three booklets (pre-natal, childbirth, post-natal) intended to be looked over together by healthcare providers and patients during routine visits, then sent home for patients to keep.
