Free face-to-face Pregnancy Group for Muslim women in Nottingham - Delivered by trained Muslim facilitators.

"We don't have any choices if we don't know what they are"

Antenatal education is crucial in helping families understabd and navigate NHS maternity care as well as help them advicate for themselves. Antenatal education can help prevent birth trauma as well as perinatal depression and anxiety. As Muslims, we are required to educate ourselves as much as we can on matters that are relevant to us.

Join our FREE informal pregnancy group run by Manisha Sheth, antenatal teacher, perinatal counsellor, maternity advocate and founder of Muslim Village.

30th Dec - Preparing to breastfeed
