"The Young Parent Pathway has been amazing throughout my pregnancy and continues to be postpartum. Having someone other than a family member or a friend that you can speak to, not only about your baby but your own emotions was very comforting and always eased my anxiety. I enjoyed learning new things before my baby arrived, a lot of the conversations were extremely useful and helpful towards the things I did postpartum.
"Being on the Young Parent Pathway I have gained a lot of knowledge I didn’t know, and continue to learn new things the older my baby gets. I've also gained a trust within myself that I didn’t have during pregnancy due to such positive encouragement from the team.
"The Young Parent Pathway has guided me throughout my postpartum parenting journey in the way that it’s allowed me to have confidence in myself to try and do new things with my baby but also take time to make sure I am doing okay in order to be my best self for my little one. When I first started, I was very nervous and anxious about a lot of things but talking to the team not only made me feel normal but confident in the things that previously troubled me and I think that’s allowed me to be very gentle and relaxed with my baby; this reflecting in my parenting."
