Active Women

We've invited women to share their experiences of 'active pregnancies', and you'll see their journeys haven't always been easy.

 

We acknowledge it's still difficult for many women to be active in a way that's right for them - especially those who have experienced IVF, miscarriage or baby loss. 

 

We want to helping encourage a culture where being active is seen as a positive experience, whatever your circumstances.

​

So, if you have a story to share we'd love to hear it.
