Yesterday our Project Coordinator Chelsea went over to to celebrate and recognise the hard work that had gone into initiating 24 hour visiting for Service Users!

We know here at BSOL MNVP, through listening to women and families, this was a very welcomed step to ensuring people are supported through their postnatal journey, when they need it most.

To the Service Users who had shared their personal experiences, their stories and suggestions on the work created before it was in place, thank you.

Your voice has impact!

Whilst we were there, we had a look at the new 'Community Support' boards that are now in place. Following on from our recent 15 Steps, we made suggestions for Service Users to have visible access to current, and relevant support in their area.

We have our next quarterly meeting all things Birmingham Women's Hospital, and South Birmingham on Monday 14th September.

If you would like to join, share your Maternity story and be a part of impacting future Maternity Care, please do come along. DM for our eventbrite link!

Everybody is welcome🙋‍♀️

Family Hubs across Birmingham have been running baby shower events throughout the district, bringing Parents-to-be together to connect, share experiences and access support. 🌿
From meeting other parents and local professionals to learning about breastfeeding, nutrition, baby massage, antenatal care, sexual health and parenting programs.

Our MNVP West Lead got to see many excited faces leaving the events feeling more confident, reassured and supported on their journey into Parenthood, whether they were first-time Moms or those welcoming another baby. 🧑‍👩‍🧒❤️
