Here is a quick recap of our first session of The Maternity Space - the session was held for mums who have given birth in the last year.
Thank you to all the mums (and their little ones) who made it our launch session.
The session started with us connecting with each other over a Sheep Scale (if you know, you know) and was followed by discussing one low and one high we experienced this week.
We were joined in the session with health visitor, Chioma Nkwonta. Chioma works with the London Borough of Newham as a Health Visitor in the Children and Young People Services from 0 to 19 Years. Health visitors typically work with children and their families from the antenatal period until children are five. They work in partnership with other agencies such as midwives, GPs, schools, social workers, voluntary services and children centres. You should have an assigned health visitor who will support you in your journey as a new parent.
Here are few links that were discussed in the session:

YOUR JOURNEY FROM PREGNANCY TO AGE 5
Thank you to all the mums who came along today! We hope you enjoyed attending as much as we enjoyed hosting you.
Looking forward to connecting with mums beyond The Maternity Space sessions? Next week we'll share how you can stay in touch via Whatsapp Community. Stay tuned!
