Ask a midwife ... anything you like!

Pregnancy can be a time of enchantment, wonder and bliss, and when women bloom - it can also be a time of confusion, fear and when you have never looked or felt so ill in your life! And doesn't everyone like to chip in with their opinion? Not to mention all the health guidelines and recommendations, it's enough to have you running for the hills - if you can still run, that is!

At the Blooming Babies show, there will be midwives available to answer any questions you might have, reassure you that you're doing ok and can even provide an on-the-spot healthcheck. They can also discuss post-natal care with you, and what the first few weeks after the birth will be like. They will be able to chat about labour, breastfeeding and your birthing options. It's a great opportunity for your other half to ask any questions too, if they can't attend all of your midwife appointments with you.

Whatever your concern, someone will be able to answer your question on the day - ask anything you like, they'll have heard it all before. If you need extra reassurance on movements, tips on handling morning sickness, swollen feet and the other glamours of pregnancy, or what to pack in your hospital bag, our Ask a Midwife service will have all the answers and more.

Neighbourhood Midwives will be at the Blooming Babies show all day, so please feel free to come along for a chat. They also have a Facebook page.
