Giving birth is a life-changing, emotional event, and sometimes your maternity journey may change due to circumstances beyond our control. This may leave you with unanswered questions and cause anxiety.
For more information on navigating these challenges, visit https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/labour-and-birth/after-the-birth/what-happens-straight-after.
We have a service available where you can meet with a midwife, doctor, or healthcare provider and discuss your experience in confidence and with access to your notes to try and alleviate these fears and prepare you for your future.
Are you a new parent looking for tips on caring for yourself and your baby? Check out these resources for support and information after birth.
We value your feedback on any of this information or any experience of your maternity and or neonatal journey that you would like to share with us.
