Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week 💛

Pregnancy and early parenthood can bring a mix of emotions: excitement, joy, uncertainty, and sometimes feeling overwhelmed. It’s important to remember that you are not alone, and support is always available.

Some common experiences may include:
• Feeling low, anxious, or overwhelmed
• Difficulty sleeping even when tired
• Loss of interest in things you usually enjoy
• Worrying thoughts that feel hard to manage

If any of this feels familiar, reaching out can make a real difference. Speaking to your midwife, health visitor, or GP is a positive first step - support is there without judgement.

This week is about raising awareness, reducing stigma, and reminding every parent that it’s okay to ask for help.

You deserve care, support, and understanding 💛

🚭 Stop Smoking Day 🚭

If you are pregnant and thinking about stopping smoking, today is a great day to start.

Stopping smoking at any point in pregnancy can make a real difference to your baby’s health. It helps your baby get more oxygen, supports healthy growth and reduces the risk of complications during pregnancy and birth.

We understand that quitting can feel difficult, but you are not on your own.

The NHS Healthy Pregnancy team can offer:
• Free, friendly support
• Access to stop smoking advisors
• Ni****ne replacement therapy
• Ongoing encouragement throughout your pregnancy

Every cigarette not smoked is a positive step for you and your baby.

Please message the page or speak to your midwife to find out what support is available to you.

💙 Safer Sleep Week (9–15 March) 💙

This week we’re supporting Safer Sleep Week, led by The Lullaby Trust, to help raise awareness of how to keep babies safe while they sleep.

Following safer sleep guidance for every sleep, day and night, can help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Simple steps include:
• Always place your baby on their back to sleep
• Keep the cot clear (no toys, pillows or loose bedding)
• Use a firm, flat mattress
• Keep baby smoke-free
• Avoid baby overheating
• Sleep baby in the same room as you for the first 6 months.

Find out more about safer sleep advice from The Lullaby Trust:
👉 https://www.lullabytrust.org.uk/safer-sleep-advice/

If you’d like to learn more about caring for your baby and safe sleep, book onto one of our antenatal classes by sending us a message. We’d love to support you on your journey into parenthood. 💬
