Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC)
@arcantenatal.bsky.social
The only national charity providing non-directive support & information to expectant and bereaved parents through antenatal screening and diagnosis.
In January, we will be discussing third-trimester scans. More scans are now carried out in the third trimester to monitor fetal growth. This can come with capacity challenges and the distress of late diagnoses. How can we best meet these challenges?

For many, #BLAW can stir painful memories and emotions. As the week has grown, the increase in social media activity can feel overwhelming. It’s okay to step back. It’s okay to take a break. It’s okay to ask for support.

Our support services run as usual throughout the week.
