London’s first Smoke Free Pregnancy Week is happening this week, from 18th – 22nd November, to raise awareness of the risks of smoking in pregnancy. At the Whittington we have recently started running Maternity’s own specific clinic to help our pregnant service users to quit smoking. Since implementing this clinic in June, our success rate for those quitting after 4 weeks of support has increased to 71%! Read the full story for more about smoke free pregnancy and how to get support.
Pregnancy and baby loss can be a deeply traumatic time for parents and families, and it can be difficult for those affected to speak about it. Baby Loss Awareness Week (BLAW) is about raising awareness of baby loss and the support available to parents, families and staff affected by this.
