Becoming a parent is one of the most beautiful yet overwhelming experiences, and for many mothers, the transition can feel daunting. That’s why I’m incredibly proud of The Parentcraft Class, a program designed to give expectant parents the tools and support they need to feel confident on their journey into parenthood. With over 100 recorded antenatal videos and detailed online classes led by experts, The Parentcraft Class provides access to valuable, easy-to-follow guidance from the comfort of your home. But we know learning doesn’t stop there. That’s why we also offer hands-on, practical training through our Parentcraft Offline Class, where parents-to-be can practice essential skills like baby care, breastfeeding, and more in a supportive, real-life setting. This blend of online and offline learning has already helped thousands of mothers feel more prepared, empowered, and reassured as they approach parenthood. By offering both flexibility and practical learning, we aim to support every parent - because every family deserves to start their journey with confidence. To all the soon-to-be parents out there, remember - you don’t have to do it alone. With the right knowledge and support, you can step into parenthood feeling ready and secure. #NurenGroup #ParentcraftClass #ParenthoodJourney #AntenatalSupport #PregnancyCare #MothersSupport #EmpoweringParents #ConfidentParenting

🚨The latest MBRRACE-UK report paints a bleak picture of worsening outcomes for all women and birthing people and a failure to address the persistent gap in outcomes for Black and Asian communities. We know that individuals, families and communities have been left with a lifetime of trauma and devastation as a result of the worst possible outcomes presented in these figures. Now is the time to take action. ➡️Read our full response and why we are calling on the government to introduce a new SAFE Maternity Care Act to protect the human rights of all women and birthing people at: bit.ly/MBRRACE24. #latestnews #Birthrights #maternity #MBRRACE #humanrightsinchildbirth #pregnancy #NHS #childbirth #maternitycare

The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) annual report highlights urgent risks facing the future of our health and social care system if children and young people cannot access the essential support they need.    At The For Baby’s Sake Trust, we echo these concerns and see, every day, the impact that a lack of accessible care has on vulnerable families—particularly those affected by domestic abuse.  Without timely, high-quality health and social care, families facing multiple adversities, including domestic abuse, are left with unmet needs that can significantly impact the safety, wellbeing, and development of their babies and young children.  Early intervention and a coordinated approach to care are essential to break cycles of abuse and support parents and children to heal and thrive.   We urge decision-makers to prioritise investments in family-focused, trauma-informed services that can intervene early and help prevent the long-term impacts of domestic abuse. By doing so, we can work towards a health and social care system that gives every child the opportunity to grow up in a safe, supportive environment and reach their full potential.

The reason for my current OT research project ➡️ ongoing UK maternal health inequalities, where black and Asian women are significantly more likely to die during pregnancy and birth than their white counterparts. Early intervention occupational therapy could be a novel approach to reducing this gap. #birthrights #maternalinequality #maternityOT #occupationaltherapy #earlyintervention

Early detection and intervention for autism can make a big difference in your child's development. Engaging in simple, playful activities can help boost communication skills and social interaction. Let's help our kids experience the world in a way they enjoy and understand. 🌈🌟 #AutismAwareness #ChildDevelopment #EarlyIntervention #pregnancy #babybump #pregnant https://lnkd.in/eV77Fmvw

📢 Birth partners are not visitors. A birth partner of choice is a vital lifeline to women and birthing people in the life altering hours surrounding childbirth. ❗Two years on from Covid, some Trusts and hospitals are still limiting or severely restricting birth partners from being with women and birthing people. ▶ In our new campaign area: bit.ly/partnerres you’ll find resources about your human rights around your choice of birth partner and an email template for you to challenge birth partner restrictions when imposed. There’s also information for healthcare professionals on how to support women and birthing people and uphold human rights law. #birthrights #birthjustice #birthpartners #pregnancy #childbirth #maternityrights #maternity #humanrights #humanrightsinchildbirth

In some recent research from Female Lead/Peanut, when returning mothers were asked what they wished for. After flexible working, the second most wished for thing was to be asked what support they needed. 52% wanted this, and yet only 21% were asked. It breaks my heart when I read stats like this, listening is such an easy thing to do and yet so few of us do it - we're too busy thinking about the answer, distracted, too busy to be present to what others are saying. If you work with working mums or know of any, I really encourage you to make some proper time to ask how they are. Just to listen, without any agenda or as a tick box exercise. And if they say fine, acknowledge that and also ask them what could be better? Because I guarantee there will be something they want to share. Even if you can't do anything about it in the moment, it will make a huge difference for working mums just to be seen and heard ❤️ And Beyond Jessica Rosevear #returningmothers #pregnancy #maternity #inclusiveculture #workingmums

The rising cost of living undoubtedly makes it a challenge to raise kids these days. A comprehensive financial plan and budgeting can really make a difference. Prioritise spending, save wherever possible, and importantly, teach our children the value of money too. After all, they are the future. #FamilyFinance #CostOfLiving #ParentingChallenges #pregnancy #babybump #pregnant https://lnkd.in/gj4Y89GN
