 Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust explains its announcement of the changes. We are on a journey towards gender inclusive care for everybody during pregnancy, birth and afterwards. This journey is led by members of the trans and non-binary community. We're at the beginning of this process, which will continue over the next few years. Midwives believe pregnancy and birth are normal, healthy parts of life. The midwife's role is to support a pregnant person's journey through each stage of pregnancy, birth and the early days with their new baby.
