As a branch we have set up an online social support group for local parents and parents-to-be to join, which will give you the opportunity to stay connected with the outside world during this difficult time

They want to hear from both parents who haven't been affected by group B strep, as well as those who have.
The research is supported by the charities Group B Strep Support and NCT.

Remember to be kind to yourself and others. It's okay not to be okay and to ask for help when you need it. 💚

If you use a rain cover, make sure you only use the cover when it’s raining and take the cover off when indoors.
Make sure your baby isn't getting too hot by feeling the back of their neck or chest. If their skin feels clammy, reduce a layer of clothing or remove a blanket

Really good news for families that can benefit. More to do for others without this support available.

We often hear that Black women are “hard to reach”. Well here we are loud and clear and we want our voices and experiences to be heard. We want to see a change and we want to see it right now.

Today is WHO World patient safety day.
⠀
We will be sharing Black women’s experiences to show that they are not always treated well or given the right information to advocate for themselves. There will also be a few positive stories too.

Welcome to the UK’s first Black women’s maternal health awareness week.
This week is designed to further highlight this statistic. We want to go a step further to uncover the fact that Black women have poorer experiences and maternal outcomes in general. #fivexmoreaw20
