NATIONAL CHILDBIRTH TRUST

We are a group of young parents helping each other by sharing our experiences -
everyone with a baby has problems of one sort or another & we try to make sure that
these are halved by being shared. we put people in touch with one another & are
beginning to make a record of people who have been through particular troubles and
are willing to help others now having the same worry.

The sub-title of the Trust is Education for Parenthood and we run our own ante
natal classes designed to help parents enjoy the birth. We also have breastfeeding
counsellors on call for advice 24 hours a day & we hold evening meetings at the
Churchfields school on the last Wednesday every month, often with a speaker. More
locally, we try to organise regular coffee mornings which are detailed in our news
letter, published three times a year.
