Bump Start is a support service for pregnant women and their partners living in the North East and North West of Edinburgh. The focus is to prepare women for pregnancy and parenthood and to feel confident to make positive choices for themselves and their families. Bump Start has two components: Parenting Coordinators and Pregnancy Cafe. The parenting coordinators work one to one with women and agree on what support needs the pregnant woman has and how we can help them achieve them. The pregnancy cafes are informal with an educational input to support pregnancy and parenting.
We now deliver face to face work outdoors with clients and indoors where deemed essential to health and wellbeing and whilst following public health guidance. Alongside this we continue to offer telephone and online support.
