A NEW one–off group exercise and information session called BUMP has been launched for women in the York and Selby area who are more than 20 weeks pregnant.

Pregnant women are invited to attend the session where an obstetric physiotherapist will give advice, information and exercises to help women keep as comfortable and active as possible in pregnancy and to help prepare them for labour.

Sessions will take place at York Hospital on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon and at Selby Hospital on the morning of the third Monday of every month.

To register, women can email bump.group@york.nhs.uk or phone 01904 726204. They will then receive a message either by email or text to confirm their place.
