Mollee Bauer - an Internet Powerhouse!

Thursday May 26 Mollee Bauer joins me here on BlogTalkRadio.  Mollee  got her start in the Internet space in 1995 when she was pregnant with her son Ezra. She was tired of combing through book after book trying to find out what was going on in her pregnancy. Not only that but the information was often negative and discouraging. Keeping that in mind, the web’s first interactive pregnancy calendar was created. It gave an end-user a snippet of information each and every day, as well as creating one of the early online pregnancy and parenting communities. Over the next year or so, the pregnancy calendar became such a popular tool, (the site was featured on CNN as a “Website of the day” and in Yahoo Magazine as an innovative “don’t miss” tool) When her son was 19-months-old Editor-in-Chief, Clare Ellis, asked if Mollee wanted to come on board and create the online community for BabyCenter. Mollee, ready to get back into the workforce, said a very enthusiastic, "yes," and in April of 1998 joined BabyCenter as employee number 20. Over the next three years, Mollee created one of the web’s most popular online communities and content. After surviving three layoffs and two buyouts, Mollee left BabyCenter in July, 2001. Frustrated by the lack of human interaction, empathy, and compassion in the marketplace, Mollee decided to create another site of her own – and launched Pregnancy.org September 10, 2001. In 2004, Mollee moved to South Florida where she resides today, and continues to champion to empower women one day at a time. She believes that our only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves and that anything is possible. With the acquisition of Pregnancy.org by Alere in January, 2011, Mollee is excited about all the possibilities now open to her and the company. She works with three incredible women to make their wish lists a reality.
