We are not medical professionals. We are simply a group of women who have a shared personal experience. We wish to publish these experiences in the hope that others may better educate themselves. All advice has therefore been freely and voluntarily submitted. However, to reiterate, for official current guidelines follow the link to the RCOG leaflet.

All pregnant women should seek advice from their midwives and consultants. Always report and discuss any medical worries you might have and be sure you are content with the care you receive. If you do have any concerns about the care, support or advice delivered you can seek a second opinion as to whether your care package is suitable for you. Check your notes are always up to date. If in doubt, ask.

Although we have made every effort to ensure that the external sites that we link to are both accurate and reputable we ultimately cannot accept responsibilty for the content therein.
