Our of midwives include those based within our dedicated telephone triage team - MAMAS (Mothers and Midwives Advice and Support) Line.

Staffed by midwives, the MAMAS line is a single point of contact for any worries or concerns a mother has about pregnancy, labour and those first few weeks with baby.

"I am very proud to be part of such an amazing service for the women in our trust.

I get a great sense of satisfaction when we can also assist the 999 staff in the control room and I think women are very relieved when they have called 999 and a midwife can reassure them. I love the fact that we can reassure and support them through the transition to becoming parents."

You are able to speak to a trained midwife 24/7 (including weekends and bank holidays) who will be able to offer you sound clinical advice and advise next steps if needed 💜

📞 If you have any concerns call 0300 013 2004.

Healthy eating
A nutritious, balanced and varied diet contributes significantly to good health. A balanced, good diet is especially important if you’re planning a pregnancy as your baby relies on you to provide the right balance of nutrients to help them grow and develop properly (even after they’re born).

The more active you are during your pregnancy the easier you will find it to adjust to the naturally occurring changes in pregnancy including a change in shape and weight gain. It will also help you to cope with labour and get back into shape after your baby is born. If exercising with an instructor let them know are pregnant. If you are new to exercising start slowly and build up gradually.

A gradual return to exercise after birth is recommended but it should not involve high-impact exercises or sit-ups too quickly, to allow your stomach and pelvic floor muscles to recover.

As a Trust we would advise new parents not to co sleep, as there are greater risks of injury and sudden infant death syndrome of the baby.

However, we understand that this may be a choice that works for some families and we want to make sure if you do choose to co sleep, you do so in the safest way to reduce these risks.

The Lullaby Trust have an extensive range of information to help you keep your baby's sleep safer.
