We are still here and still recruiting! Any mum who is living in the UK with a baby under 12 months is invited to participate, but we are especially keen to hear from people who have become pregnant and given birth during the pandemic. Link to participate: is.gd/covid19newmumstudy

Our survey showed many mothers faced prenatal care & labour alone during lockdown. Yet despite a change in ruling, this is still happening. The important @butnotmaternity campaign seeks to put an end to these unfair restrictions #butnotmaternity

Participants who had a baby in neonatal intensive care were asked whether they could visit their baby.
20% were told they could not.
80% of those women stopped breastfeeding by 6 weeks compared to 9% of those who could visit their baby

An important review by @JoAllotey @thangaratinam et al. has found that pregnant & recently pregnant women in hospital with Covid-19 were less symptomatic but + likely to need the ICU & invasive ventilation & have preterm births than those without Covid-19 doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m3320

Key points from our #COVID19NewMumStudy on maternal mental health & coping. A large proportion of new mothers reported symptoms of low mood, anxiety and loneliness during the lockdown. Latest @bestbeginnings #BabiesInLockdown report has also shown this. Urgent action is needed!
