Empowering Expectant Moms with New Drop-In Sessions

Get ready, North Lincolnshire! New drop-in sessions are launching to provide essential information and support for expectant mothers and their families. Say hello to the Nest and Nurture Fairs, where you'll find a treasure trove of advice on healthy eating, staying active during pregnancy, breastfeeding, weaning, and even practical skills like properly fitting a car seat!

Expert Guidance at Your Fingertips

These evening sessions will be hosted by experienced community midwives at two key locations: the Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby and Scunthorpe General Hospital. Vicki Booth, matron at the Grimsby maternity unit, emphasizes that this event is your 'one-stop shop' for everything you need to know about pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for your newborn.

Comprehensive Advice for All Stages of Pregnancy

Expect a wealth of information, including vital advice on vaccinations and safe sleeping tips. Claire Brothwell, matron at the Scunthorpe maternity unit, notes that while these sessions are particularly beneficial for those in the later stages of pregnancy, all expectant mothers are welcome once their pregnancy is confirmed.
