There are around 1.7 million disabled parents in the UK, yet many women receive little understanding of their disabilities during pregnancy. Now, with the support of the Royal College of Nursing, Jackie Rotheram, a disabled midwife, has launched a guide to help hospitals better support disabled women through pregnancy and birth. Jackie, along with Mary Cox, a trustee of Disability, Pregnancy and Parenthood International, who is herself blind, join Ritula to discuss what can be done to assist these women and their maternity needs.Disability, Pregnancy and Parenthood International
