Videos
These maternity videos have been thoughtfully created by our Maternity team in collaboration with colleagues across the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire Local Maternity and Neonatal System.
They have also been developed alongside Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) colleagues and the Maternity Voices Partnership to ensure they reflect a wide range of experiences and needs.
Together, we have produced a series of supportive and informative videos covering different aspects of pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period.
We hope these resources provide clear, reassuring guidance to help women and their families feel informed, confident and supported throughout their journey.
How do positions in labour help?
What to expect after birth: your postnatal journey
What is an artificial rupture of membranes?
