Welcome to MIDIRS Informed Choice
Now that you are pregnant or are thinking of trying for a baby, you will find yourself bombarded by a wealth of information, some very good, some more dubious and less reliable. So what can we offer YOU here at MIDIRS? Well, this Informed Choice website has been developed specifically with your information needs in mind. We have produced a varied and extensive range of maternity information that covers 25 separate topics. These extend from preconception (the time when you are thinking about becoming pregnant), through pregnancy and the birth, and on into the postnatal period. Our information is accurate and up-to-date, so you can have confidence in the information that we are bringing you!
