They want to hear from both parents who haven't been affected by group B strep, as well as those who have.
The research is supported by the charities Group B Strep Support and NCT.

Totally support this but please also include health visitors. Appreciate they’re employed differently but it’s the same mums & babies needing seamless support @iHealthVisiting @NCTcharity

If you use a rain cover, make sure you only use the cover when it’s raining and take the cover off when indoors.
Make sure your baby isn't getting too hot by feeling the back of their neck or chest. If their skin feels clammy, reduce a layer of clothing or remove a blanket

Really good news for families that can benefit. More to do for others without this support available.

We often hear that Black women are “hard to reach”. Well here we are loud and clear and we want our voices and experiences to be heard. We want to see a change and we want to see it right now.

We're recruiting a lay member for the topic of testing to help diagnose suspected pre-eclampsia. Do you know someone who can take part as patient or carer? :) nice.org.uk/get-involved/our… @SandsUK @APEC_UK @AIMS_online @BirthTrauma @Blisscharity @tommys @TheBHF @NCTcharity

Today is WHO World patient safety day.
⠀
We will be sharing Black women’s experiences to show that they are not always treated well or given the right information to advocate for themselves. There will also be a few positive stories too.

Welcome to the UK’s first Black women’s maternal health awareness week.

Very sad accounts on @BBCNews today about women losing wanted pregnancies during lockdown, and dealing the news alone because no one else is allowed to be present for scans. Exactly what we heard at the last Baby Loss APPG meeting. @LullabyTrust bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53613348
