 Antenatal Support
 
 
My antenatal support service is aimed to provide you with that extra help running up to the birth of your baby.  Tiredness can play a big part in deciding your need for extra help.  Conditions such as SPD and raised blood pressure may make you feel a little extra support will be beneficial.
 
I am not judgmental and don't want to inflict my views on you, I just want to give you the time and space to relax and prepare for this important event.
