West Cheltenham Pregnancy Support

If you live in West Cheltenham and are expecting a baby you can meet your midwifery, heath visiting and children’s centre teams at Hester’s Way Children’s Centre.

Drop by for a cuppa and a chat with your maternity team. You and your partner are welcome, and you can visit any time from 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Sessions are held on the first four Tuesdays of each month from 2.30pm to 4pm. No need to book.

Each of the four sessions has a theme:

  • Week 1 – What your children’s centre and local area has to offer
  • Week 2 – Giving birth – your questions answered
  • Week 3 – Feeding your baby and the early days and what to expect
  • Week 4 – Getting to know your baby in pregnancy and beyond

Hester’s Way Children’s Centre is on Dill Avenue, Cheltenham, GL51 0ES. Tel: 01242 222490.

 

These sessions are being run in a partnership between the NHS and the Aspire Foundation.
