Pregnancy
Mind, Body & Bump courses
You can access our Mind, Body & Bump course, which is delivered by a registered midwife and public health lifestyle advisors.
The course aims to provide you with support and specialist advice on a range of topics to help you stay healthy and active during your pregnancy. The Mind, Body & Bump course runs for six weekly sessions on Wednesdays at local Family Hubs across North Somerset.
Family Hubs
The Family Hubs team has put together a digital booklet that contains information about the
different kinds of help and support available for parents, carers and children.
Health visitors
Health visitors offer help and support throughout your pregnancy.
Your health visitor will arrange to see you at home before your baby is born, usually at around 28 to 34 weeks. You are also welcome to drop into any of the baby hubs to see your health visitor and meet other parents.
Stopping smoking in pregnancy
Giving up smoking is the single most important thing a smoker can do to improve their health, particularly during pregnancy. If you want to become smokefree, support is available.
Other sources of support
The Best Start in Life has a comprehensive guide and week-by-week information about pregnancy. You can also sign up for emails for advice and support throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
The NHS website provides information about trying for a baby, pregnancy, labour and birth.
