Important information for low risk pregnany.... 💛

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17VDt89TKA/

Recent meta-analysis (most reliable form of study) de-bunks again the 'admission strip: 'Routine admission CTG in low-risk term pregnancies demonstrated no improvement in maternal or neonatal outcomes. Previous concerns regarding increased caesarean delivery rates appear overstated. These findings support current recommendations favouring IA over routine admission CTG in low-risk pregnancies."

Sadly the world lost a sparkling light our darling Claire fought a long private battle with breast cancer.
She is remembered by so many who loved and knew her, she made each of us feel so special - what an incredible woman she was.

To all that are slowly finding out about her passing I offer you my deepest sympathy as this news washes over you.

If you would like to share how you knew Claire we would love to hear your stories.
If you would like to connect with me privately please feel that you can reach out to me just pop a message below so we can connect 🤍

Much love and light to you all
Bethany 💖
