Why not do a good deed for someone this #RandomActsOfKindnessDay ? ✨

Even something as simple as holding a door open for someone can brighten their day, especially at the moment. 💓

Happy Pancake Day! 🥞😍

There are lots of articles that tell you what you should or should not be eating during pregnancy; it is very important to maintain a balanced diet, but this doesn't mean you have to give up all your favourite treats.

We've found a balanced, tasty pancake recipe for pregnancy by Sophie Wright, so that you can carry pancake day on long after it's over!

We've compiled this short list of lockdown date ideas for self-care, or spending time with your loved ones.

1. Have a pamper evening. This idea works whether you're single or with a partner. Why not have a nice, relaxing bath and treat yourself to some skincare. You could even order in some takeaway for the ultimate stress-free evening.

2. Have a movie night. If you're living with a partner or by yourself, you know the drill - grab some snacks, get cosy (maybe even build a fort for a different setting) and watch a film together. If you're apart, you can still enjoy a movie night with friends or your partner. There are extensions that help you stay in sync whilst watching a film, or you could even set an exact time to watch so that you can enjoy the film together. You can even order in some food or something like a pick and mix box to make the occasion extra special.

3. Have a dinner date. Whether you're single, together or apart, you can still enjoy a dinner date. Why not log into zoom, order in some food and sit and eat together. You may not be face-to-face, but the activity of eating at the same time will make you feel that much closer together.

🏥⚠ Important Information Regarding Our Scan Services ⚠🏥
·
The primary purpose of any of the scans offered by WTTW has always been and remains the health and wellbeing of the mother and baby.
·
Some of our scans additionally include ancillary services such as gendering and 4D.
·
As long as any appointment is booked primarily for a medical reason, we will continue to include the other services throughout the lockdown period.
·
We ask all of our customers to confirm when they book, that they are booking primarily for a medical reason such as reassurance or because of a specific concern. You do not need to contact us to confirm this if you have already booked an appointment; we know that our clients book a scan primarily to check on the development of their baby.
·
Rescans & the option to go for a short walk to get baby moving for ancillary services such as gender confirmation or 4D imaging cannot be offered at this time.
·
We continue to work to all national guidelines and this may be subject to change at short notice.
·
Please note that anyone who attends any of our clinics is required to wear a face mask or face covering.
·
This is to protect our customers, who because they are pregnant are classed as vulnerable, other visitors and our hard working clinic staff.
·

Thank you Captain Tom Moore for all your services for our country, and for raising spirits across the world at a time when we all needed it the most. A true British hero. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace, Sir⭐️
