Take a moment to listen to the wonderful @midwife_alicia with @blackbabylossawareness week starting tomorrow. Check out our stories throughout the week as we reshare further information ๐
Posted @withregram โข @perinatalmhpartnership Do take a listen to our friend @midwife_alicia as she discusses @blackbabylossawareness - an annual event focused on raising awareness and providing support for Black families who have experienced pregnancy and baby loss.
It was founded by @midwife_alicia and the 2025 edition of BBLAW will run from May 12-18.
BBLAW specifically addresses the disproportionate rates of pregnancy and infant loss in Black communities.
The week aims to educate communities about the resources and support available for navigating pregnancy loss and bereavement.
We here at @perinatalmhpartnership are proud to support Black Baby Loss Awareness Week

๐ Celebrating Midwives, Everywhere ๐
Today, on International Day of the Midwife, we honour the incredible dedication of midwives around the world โ from rural clinics to bustling hospitals, their hands help bring life safely into the world every single day. ๐ถโค๏ธ
Here in the UK and across the globe, midwives are essential to ensuring safe, respectful, and empowering care for mothers, babies, and families. Their knowledge, compassion, and tireless work are the backbone of maternal and newborn health.
At #All4Birth, we deeply value the vital role midwives play in supporting not just births, but the entire journey of parenthood โ from antenatal care to postnatal support.
๐ Thank you, midwives, for all you do.

๐ Curious about how ICSI can bring hope to couples facing infertility challenges?
ICSI, a game-changer in fertility treatments, offers new possibilities, especially for those dealing with severe male infertility or previous IVF failures. Dive into our factsheet to learn more about this specialised procedure, who it can help, and what to expect.

Such an important message to share during #infertilityawarenessweek
Posted @withregram โข @preysmd I spent years believing health was about discipline. Eat clean. Exercise. Stay lean. But when I went through IVF, I realized how little of it was actually in my hands. My body wasnโt something to micromanageโit was something to support, to listen to, to work with instead of constantly trying to โfix.โ
So if youโre in midlife, struggling with weight, hormones, or just feeling like you donโt recognize yourself anymoreโlet this be your permission slip to stop blaming yourself. You are not failing. Your body is not betraying you. Itโs shifting, evolving, adapting. And the best thing you can do? Support itโnot fight it.
Infertility is more common than you might think โ and it touches countless lives in quiet ways.
During Infertility Awareness Week, weโre sharing facts, fostering compassion, and holding space for every journey to parenthood.
You are not alone. ๐ #InfertilityAwareness #TTCCommunity #BreakingTheSilence #YouAreNotAlone #FertilitySupport #AllPathsToParenthood #All4Birth

If you are concerned about your babyโs movements, contact your local maternity unit and have them checked out, do not follow any advice suggesting baby has run out of space

Posted @withregram โข @pregnahub_app Understanding risk matters! A โ100% increaseโ sounds big, but if the starting number is small, the actual risk may still be low.
