My wife is working with local hospitals to find out how maternity services can be improved to help dads experiences of being a birthing partner and being a new dad
Just wondered if anyone is from the local area (anywhere in Suffolk) and would be willing to share their views? If so, just drop me a message or comment on here.
I thought there should be more information about postnatal depression in men and women, and more information about the reality of having a baby. At the appointments there seemed to be loads of information for my wife but nothing for me to take away. Would you have found it useful?
I don't know if I would have read it straight away but once we had our boy he was poorly with bronchiolitis and asthma and in hospital a lot and it would have been good to have been given information that I could have read up on once we were back home!
