Pregnancy
Why take part

Working with midwives in Wales
Our researchers are looking to recruit new mums and their partners to take part in our study which will explore the experiences of pregnancy and we need your help to reach new parents across Wales.
The ‘Born in Wales’ study aims to help better understand how to reduce preterm and low weight births and to help children have the best start in life.
The study looks at life events including working life and stress on pregnant and partners. It is linked to health, school and other data to better understand the family situations that can impact the early years for children with an aim of evidencing what works to support children and families from the very beginning.
The findings from this study can help to inform families, health care professionals and policymakers on how to best support families to give children the best start in life.
