It's official! NCT classes are a top pregnancy trend, featuring in the Top 30 most popular pregnancy trends from GoodtoKnow. You can find an in-person NCT antenatal class for your due date here: nct.org.uk/courses-worksh… #antenatal #pregnancy

Excellent to spend today with Abena Oppong-Asare MP and our One Voice #maternity alliance partners talking about the very real challenges and inequities in antenatal and postnatal care. The positive, collaborative tone was so very welcome. Royal College of Midwives 💙 RoyalCollegeObsGyn Sands - baby loss charity 💙🧡 iHV
