"Weigh to a healthy pregnancy programme - SE Trust"

During my pregnancy in 2023, I have been supported with a fantastic dietician and physiotherapist through the Weigh to a Healthy Pregnancy programme. I have found this additional support to be of a great benefit to me to help me to be as healthy as possible for my baby and me.

My dietician Jayne made regular contact with me over the phone and she provided me with very useful and practical advice. I felt encouraged to eat the best variety of healthy foods. My BMI is a sensitive topic and I felt the Jayne really helped me to make positive changes in a very supportive manner.

I have really valued the Physiotherapy sessions with Rachel as well which were both over the phone and in person. I also felt that it really made a difference to meet Rachel again in the maternity ward having already known her from my pregnancy. I was really impressed with the way in which  Rachel worked with me and provided really practical advice to help me to keep active, manage some pain and look after my pelvic floor.
