This is an interview with a young parent about her experience of being pregnant at 17. NICE released their guidelines in October 2010 to recommend a flexible model of tailored antenatal care for young parents. Prior to this Bath had set up a Young Parents' One Stop Shop offering antenatal provision in the form of antenatal classes, antenatal appointments at the same location and a range of other services to be accessed at the same time. Anita wanted a first hand account of a young mother's thoughts and feelings during pregnancy and whether they were in line with the recommendations of NICE.
