WHEN Andrea Davies was pregnant with her first child she called on the National Childbirth Trust for help with morning sickness problems.

They gave her so much good advice that Andrea, of Atherton, has now decided to help other mums-to-be and new mums.

The charity's voluntary post natal supporter, Andrea has organised a new coffee group which will meet on Thursdays between 11am to 12.30pm at her home.

A 25-years-old mum of two, Andrea has recently completed three years at college, and plans to take two years out before embarking on a three year degree course at Salford University, with a view to becoming a midwife.

Andrea said: "It is a big charity. I rang when I needed help and received terrific advice. I now hope to help others cope with pregnancy problems."

The meetings will offer postnatal support, antenatal classes and breastfeeding, along with other information.

Anyone interested in going along should contact Andrea on 01942 797182 to book a place.
