Imagine spending your months of pregnancy in comfort, full of energy and confidently awaiting the arrival of your baby. Once your baby is born, you spend a few days bonding with your baby, cocooned away from the stresses of the outside world, supported by a knowledgeable and familiar team who are there to help give your new family the right start. Then you spend your first few months of parenthood with access to a helping arm around your shoulder when you most need it, thriving within a community of other new mothers all on the same journey.
The UK’s top maternity and women’s health experts have been brought to together under one roof to give you just that.
