I'm pregnant yea! Just found out.
I'm not buying anything yet as it's still early but want to be prepared. Can the nhs provide any equipment that's been adapted to help me look after the baby once it's born?
Just wondering if anyone knew or had experience with this.

I will also ask when I get my first appointment next week.

I dont think the NHS do this but your local Social Services Disability Team might.

they never did for me, it was just trial and error. Your OT if you have one should be able to advise on stuff thats available. I find its best to do you homework so you can ask for something specific. ' I really could do with a .......' that sort of thing.
