Support in Pregnancy - Midwifery

Keeping well in pregnancy is of benefit to mother, baby and wider family. The NHS site offers support on a range of things such as emotional wellbeing, nutrition, exercise, the impact of drugs and alcohol. This resource is also useful for those supporting someone who is pregnant.

When you find out you are pregnant, a Community Midwife will take responsibility for your care and will be your named contact throughout your pregnancy and the postnatal period.
