We know that pregnancy loss still carries a taboo, and that this often carries over into workplaces.

It's time to make real change, and put emphasis on opening up these conversations, making sure they are held in a respectful, safe and supportive way.

April marks Cesarean Awareness Month. About one-third of babies in the UK are delivered via cesarean section, totaling around 202,000 C-sections annually. At Alternatives, we want to raise awareness of diverse birth experiences.

[Alternatives Watford @Alternatives_W]

For many women, a C-section is an elective birth choice but for some, it is not. This can lead to a traumatic birth experience. If you find yourself in this situation, Alternatives is here to provide you with support.
