As services begin to recover from Covid-19, NHS Lanarkshir­e has reinstated home births.

The service was stopped following the coronaviru­s outbreak but is now being brought back in a further boost to expectant mums.

Cheryl Clark, NHS Lanarkshir­e’s Chief Midwife, said: “As we move forward more of our services will begin to return. The first of these, is being able to offer home births again. Mums-to-be can discuss their birthing options with their midwife.

“We are continuing to ask pregnant women who are scheduled to attend for ultrasound scans, appointmen­ts in our maternity day bed unit, antenatal clinics and maternity triage to boot for the fund.

Francis, who runs the Fighting Scots Gym in Bellshill, said “Having known Pauline, Wullie and the Mason family for a long number of years we would like to offer our support during this devastatin­g time.”

For informatio­n about the auction please the Fighting Scots Gym Facebook page.

And to donate to the JustGiving page visit https://www.justgiving. com/crowdfundi­ng/liamscott attend on their own. These restrictio­ns will be lifted as soon as it is safe to do so.

“We would like to thank you for your continued patience and we hope to bring you more informatio­n about services being reinstated in the coming weeks.

“We urge all pregnant women who are selfisolat­ing to contact their community midwife to discuss their antenatal care and to contact maternity triage in emergency situations such as abdominal pain or concerns with your baby’s movement.”
