Maternity app launches

ACCESS TO HELP AND NOTES ROUND THE CLOCK AT THE TOUCH OF BUTTON

- By STAFF REPORTER

EXPECTANT parents can now access their maternity records and tailored pregnancy information at the touch of a button.

Badger Notes, launched by University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, replaces the paper file with an app to view a week-by-week timeline of their pregnancy, scheduled appointments and maternity record, as well as access to information leaflets.

Users can submit thoughts and questions about antenatal care, birth plans and postnatal care to midwives and doctors.
