Are fathers nowadays more included in maternity services?

25 January 2017

Thomas Lynch from Dads Rock talks about his recent experiences of maternity services and how these have changed in the last 8 years since the birth of his first son. From inclusion in antenatal classes to his experiences of health visiting services, this blog explores how things have changed for fathers and what improvements are still to be made.
