Your Bump Stories is all about you. At Bump we want to hear and share your pregnancy and child birth stories, as we know many new parents have experiences that others can relate to, and at times take comfort from.
We’ll be sharing short audio clips – recordings of real people talking about their personal experiences of different topics; from naming the baby and sleepless nights, to mental health and support systems – no area will be left uncovered!
Everyone is welcome to get involved. You don’t have to be a mother, you could be a father, birthing partner, grandparent or a close friend – if you’ve had the experience of helping to welcome a child in to the world, we want to hear about it in your own words! All you need to do to get involved is contact us.

Jackie Scott, Infant Feeding Lead Midwife at Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust recently took time out of her busy schedule to let us know why she chose to make breastfeeding her speciality.
Ruth is a mum of two and she is also Deaf. She recalls the some of the troubles and frustrations that she faced during both of her pregnancy journeys and is eager to spread the word and raise awareness of what it’s currently like to use maternity services as a Deaf mum-to-be and how this could be improved.
During the late stages of her pregnancy, Zoe was told that her second son Atticus was back to back – meaning his back was positioned directly against hers.
Did you know anybody can be a birthing partner? It doesn’t always have to be dad. Sam was honoured when her sister asked her to be her birthing partner and help welcome her niece in to the world.
Jon, dad of two, originally from Wales but living in Birmingham, was delighted when he found out his partner was having a baby boy. They were keen to embrace his Welsh heritage by giving their son, Alex a traditional Welsh middle name.
Kerry, mum of two from Birmingham, found out that she was pregnant with her first child at the age of 32 and it was a bit of a shock. Kerry has shared her experience with us.
