Your first weeks at home
From the car seat on the way home to your 6 week check: what's normal, which checks and visits to expect, how to tell feeding is going well and exactly when to get help for your newborn.
- Have a rear facing car seat fitted and practised with before your baby is born.
- Wet and dirty nappies are your best clue that feeding is going well. Count them in the first week.
- A temperature of 38C or higher in a baby under 3 months needs urgent medical help.
- Your baby should sleep on their back, in a clear, flat sleep space in your room, for every sleep.
- Baby blues usually pass within 2 weeks. If low mood lasts longer or starts later, tell your GP, midwife or health visitor.

If you’re trying to conceive (TTC), you probably know that there are certain foods and nutrients that become especially important once you’re pregnant. But nutrition plays a vital role even when trying to conceive, much like laying a strong foundation before constructing a house.
Certain nutrients create that foundation by supporting egg and sperm health (yes, nutrition matters for both partners), hormone balance and creating a hospitable environment for a fertilized egg to implant. In fact, studies show that certain nutrients can help increase fertility and improve success rates for both natural conception and fertility treatments.
In other words, nutrition is a key player in the TTC journey, but getting the right nutrients in the right quantities can be tricky. That’s where supplements come in. Just as you’d take a multivitamin to fill in nutritional gaps for optimal health, fertility supplements can give you that extra nutrient boost.
