Private Project

First Time Mum

Support services for new mums are being cut across the UK resulting in women lacking vital guidance from midwives and access to breastfeeding advice, leaving many feeling isolated and lost during the first year of parenthood. But as they always have, women turn directly to one another for help, creating their own support circles. A whatsapp messaging group created by producer Francesca Roche when she was struggling with her newborn becomes a lifeline for a group of first time mums.
