During the coronavirus pandemic we have all watched and supported the wonderful work of doctors and nurses. In particular, I have come across a special bracelet inspired by mum Louise Macleod working within the NHS Maternity Voices Partnership Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin LMS. She has inspired a maternity movement bracelet as part of a local NHS campaign to raise awareness of the importance of being aware of your baby’s movements in the womb and prevent still birth. It’s a very simple but yet so practical and pretty product.
The Aska Maternity Movement Bracelet has the potential to save a baby’s life and is designed to help women monitor patterns in their baby’s movements. London Mums would like to support it because part of the proceeds of each sale will be donated to NHS Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group from this NHS endorsed product.

Every body and every birth is different, but self-care during this trimester is particularly important. Here are 5 ways to help heal your body and enjoy this new stage of life with a precious newborn:
