TikTok trends to ignore - Hydration is important during labour and after birth. However, drinking excessive amounts of water can lead to complications, as your body works to rebalance and recover from birth. Ask your midwife for further guidance

****Your Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) would love to hear from you!****
MNVP’s are independent working groups that work in partnership with their local maternity units to connect everyone involved in maternity and neonatal care, both the people who use the services and the staff. MNVPs help shape decision making and the way services are designed and developed. They act as a ‘critical friend’ to make sure that anything which impacts those using the services and their families is considered.
By sharing your experience and voicing your ideas for change with your MNVP, you are given the opportunity to make an impact on the maternity and neonatal care that is provided for women, birthing people, and their families across Suffolk and North East Essex.
Drop us an email to share your story, or to learn how to get involved : mnvp@snee.nhs.uk
