Yesterday our Founder Heidi spoke on to discuss pregnancy safety and what challenges expected parents face from low income households face. 🩷

Getting to and from appointments can be expensive, from bus fares to childcare and some families have been asked to travel 2 hours to give birth.

Designed to keep essential pregnancy information close to hand, our Pregnancy Passports include official safer pregnancy messaging, space for important health information and a place to keep key documents together. They’re there to support both expectant parents and midwives throughout pregnancy. Small enough to pop in your handbag and take wherever you go 💗

One trust saw their stillbirth rate reduce by 38% after a years distribution.

How can you relax and deal with an 'uncomfortable bump' during pregnancy? 🤰

A few small shifts can make a real difference to how relaxed and supported you feel. From deep breathing, meditation and guided massages to falling asleep to Harry Potter audio books! Everyone is different but it's what works for you 🩷

Tune in today on the MAMA Academy Podcast with Siobhan Miller, CEO and Founder of The Positive Birth Experience.

Not every baby grows the same, so why measure them against the same chart?

Customised Growth Charts (GROW) consider maternal factors such as height, weight and ethnicity to better identify babies at risk of poor growth.

Combined with GAP training for healthcare professionals, this approach has been linked to reductions in stillbirths.

🤰 Expecting? Ask your midwife if your unit uses customised growth charts.

🏥 Healthcare professional? Find out if your Trust is GAP-trained.

You should not have to do this on your own.

If you are Black or South Asian and pregnant in the UK, there are people already doing this work. People who understand what you are walking into, because they have walked into it themselves.

The Motherhood Group Black maternal health, community and advocacy.
Five X More Campaigning for better outcomes for Black women and birthing people.
Blackmums App. Peer support from people who have been there.
The Raham Project Support through pregnancy and through loss.
The Janam App. Built for South Asian families.
Maternity Action Advice on your rights, at work and in the system.

We did not build any of these. We just think you should know they exist.
