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.

How are you really feeling?
If you're struggling, it's good to talk – to family, to friends, to us 💙
ALT On a pink background, there are two speech bubbles in white with a blue outline. Above the first speech bubble it says: 'What we say' in blue bold print. Underneath is a bubble saying "I'm fine." Below that in blue bold print it says 'What we mean'. Underneath is a speech bubble containing the following words in various sizes "overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, fed up, struggling, scared, tired, nervous, embarrassed."

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.
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.
If you face any other pregnancy-related difficulties, take a moment to explore our website and discover the ways in which we can assist you:
