From bump to baby - a guide to healthy pregnancy and birth 

From bump to baby is a DVD for parents who are expecting a baby or are in their first early days at home with a baby. It is split into three sections:

Part 1 gives some basic and helpful information and advice about having a healthy and fulfilling pregnancy. It also looks at the support that is available at Sure Start Children's Centres.

Part 2 looks at the different options available during labour, including coping with the early stages of labour at home, and provides an illustrated 'story of birth', as well as looking at the role of the birth partner.

You can download an mp3 of the 'story of birth' for free:

Part 3 covers information for the first early days at home; changing a nappy, bathing a baby and breastfeeding.

This DVD is a starting point for your questions, not a replacement for talking to your midwife or health visitor.
