Expecting your baby in 2026? Parents-to-be at least 20 weeks into pregnancy are being invited to special events in Grimsby and Scunthorpe to prepare for life with a new baby.
“Nest and Nurture” will be held on Thursday, February 5 at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Grimsby, before switching to Scunthorpe General Hospital on Thursday, March 2.
These special events, attended by the midwifery team at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole FT Trust, representatives from family services at Northern Lincolnshire and North-East Lincolnshire Councils, Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership and child safety organisations, will provide all the information you need to have a healthy pregnancy, a great birth experience and a fantastic start to life with your new baby.
Natalie Jenkin, Head of Midwifery, said: “From healthy eating and looking after your pelvic health to preparing for labour and birth, our midwives and maternity support workers will be on hand to help with any questions you might have about the birth of your baby.
“We’ll have active demonstrations on safer sleeping, what to expect during labour, information on home births, tips for breast feeding and how to make your home a safe environment for your baby.
“Wellbeing teams will also be at our events to help you and your partner look after yourselves and each other throughout your pregnancy and into those first few months of welcoming your baby into your lives.”
“Nest and Nurture” events will be held on the first Thursday of every month and switch between the Antenatal Clinic at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby and the Antenatal Clinic at Scunthorpe General Hospital.
