We have had a super morning at our Postnatal Forum. The patients who attended found the time spent valuable, not only with two of our GP’s who have a real passion and expertise in women’s health , but also to be able to talk openly with other ladies. They were happy to share amongst the group some personal experiences both going through pregnancy, up until your baby’s arrival, and spoke about the weeks to follow. All found the morning very worthwhile.
