New edition of Tommy’s pregnancy guide for young women

Posted 22 February 2010

The latest edition of the charity Tommy’s Young woma­n’s guide to a healthy pregnancy is available to buy online and in bulk.

Aimed to help pregnant women under the age of 20 to make informed health choices, the guide covers key issues such as diet, exercise, and the risks of smoking, alcohol and drugs, as well as providing information about sexual health, relationships and antenatal care.

Through funding from the Department of Health, the guide has been developed with support from an editorial board of health professionals and medical specialists, along with input from young women who have taken part in the photo shoots,  sharing their experiences and providing feedback to the writers and designers.

Health campaign manager for Tommy’s Susie Hill said: ‘Now that the guide is available to order online, we hope to reach even more young women at risk through the health professionals that work with them.’
