Lemonade Life launches to support maternal wellbeing in Bucks

The programme offers a holistic approach to maternal wellbeing through four key pillars: movement, breath, food, and community. The programme is completely free and accessible 24/7 to pregnant women and women who have had a baby in the last 2 years.

It is designed to improve both physical and emotional wellbeing, especially among those at higher risk of gestational diabetes or those managing a high BMI.

Women who sign up will receive access to a tailored digital platform that offers:

• Live online yoga and breathwork classes
• A catalogue of on-demand wellness content
• Nutrition tips and recipes
• A community of local mums to connect with for support

David Munday, Director of Public Health for Buckinghamshire, said:

"We are delighted to help launch Lemonade Life, a programme that addresses the critical aspects of maternal wellbeing. By providing free, accessible resources, we aim to support women in Bucks during one of the most important times of their lives. With 911 cases of gestational diabetes diagnosed in 2023 and 23.8% of pregnant women having a high BMI, this programme is more important than ever. We encourage everyone to share this programme with friends and mums-to-be in Bucks to ensure it reaches those who need it most."

BHT Midwifery, Oxford Health and other health partners are supporting the campaign, helping reach women across Bucks through trusted services.

The platform is accessible 24/7 and designed for mobile, tablet, or desktop. To find out more and sign up, visit buckinghamshire.gov.uk/lemonadewellness
