Abstract

When a young person becomes pregnant, they may be surprised, excited or anxious, and unsure what to expect. Whatever they're feeling, this book is here to help guide them through their pregnancy and birth.

Bump 2 Baby is a colourful, easy to use guide which explains everything there is to know about being pregnant and giving birth. From how to stay healthy, feelings, what happens at a scan, and life with the baby, it's packed with information and advice for young mums. The journeys of three characters, all in different circumstances – Dionne, aged 17, Sarah, aged 15 and Louise, aged 20 – bring the book to life and help to make it easy to read and understand.

This is the perfect companion for young mothers-to-be: fun to use, easy to read and full of all the vital information about pregnancy. It is ideal for midwives, social workers, youth workers, teachers and counsellors to give to or recommend to the young person they're working with.

This book helped me a lot - I take it everywhere with me.

This book is really useful. I was really glad to be given a copy by my midwife.
Kirsty Barnes, young mother
I love how visual Bump 2 Baby is. It is perfect for functional readers or people with literacy difficulties. Whenever I show any mums-to-be this book they instantly engage with it. In 15 years working as a specialist midwife for teenagers, including some time co-ordinating the National Teenage Pregnancy Midwifery Network, I have never found a pregnancy guide like this one. Highly recommended.
