The Maternity Matters: Meet the Expert event will be held on Thursday 2 October from 6pm to 8.30pm at the Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI) Antenatal clinic – Kensington building.
This is your opportunity to meet the team who will care for you during your pregnancy. Speak to your experts about why vaccines are important in pregnancy, how midwives and student midwives support can you, and how the infant feeding team can guide you with feeding your baby. Experts can also support you to stop smoking if you need to, and talk about your feelings and mental health during pregnancy. The birth centre teams will also be available to talk about what they offer, and much more.
Drop-in for a chat, to ask questions or get information and support. Contact the team for more information at uhl-tr.maternityandneonatalqiteam@nhs.net.
