Nest and Nurture Fairs: Your One-Stop Resource

Introducing the Nest and Nurture Fairs! These informative events will cover everything from healthy eating and staying active during pregnancy to essential tips on breastfeeding, weaning, and even how to properly fit a car seat.

Run by Experts in the Field

Led by experienced community midwives, the evening sessions will take place alternately at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby and Scunthorpe General Hospital.

A Safe Space for New Parents

Vicki Booth, matron at Grimsby’s maternity unit, states, "This is a one-stop shop for everything you need to know about pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for your newborn!"

Comprehensive Support Available

Expecting parents can also look forward to advice on vaccinations and safe sleeping practices, ensuring you feel confident and prepared.

Open to All Stages of Pregnancy

According to Claire Brothwell, matron at Scunthorpe maternity, while the sessions are particularly beneficial for those in the later stages of pregnancy, all expectant mothers are welcome once their pregnancy is confirmed.
