Information you can trust
What is is about pregnancy and the early days of parenting, that causes us to incessantly Google everything?! There’s so much information out there, it can be hard to know where to start.
Add in to the mix, that when we become pregnant or have a new baby, we suddenly become an unsuspecting target of unsolicited advice from everyone, with their opinions on everything from how big our bump should be, to how our baby should be dressed. It can feel completely overwhelming.
That’s why our team of specialists is here to help, with evidence-based and most importantly realistic information that you can trust.
We won’t tell you how you ‘should’ be doing things, you’re all intelligent people, who will find what works for you and your baby.
However, we want to give you access to relevant and easy to digest, information that can support you through each trimester of pregnancy, birth and parenting.
We also share tonnes of tips and first hand experiences of new parents from our courses.
So what are you waiting for? Please dig in and enjoy these pages and if you have any suggestions of further topics you would like our specialists to cover, please do get in touch.
All the information in these articles is written by medical professionals working within the NHS, with MBBS, Masters or PHD qualifications.
