'Pregnancy passports' issued to expecting parents

Manx Care's Maternity team now provide 'Pregnancy Passports' to parents to help more babies arrive safely.

The health body has teamed up with Mums and Midwives Awareness Academy, which works to inform expectant parents about stillbirth prevention methods. 

The passports contain official safer pregnancy messaging, and essential information such as blood group and risk factors can be written within it.

Barbara Roberts, Head of Midwifery at Manx Care, says they're a very clear way of communicating vital information that parents can hold in their hands.
