I am currently a undergraduate student at Coventry University studying Transport Design. As part of one of my assignments, I have been researching "Parents and Mothers to be: the problems they face on public transport". The focus of this assignment is on redesigning the interior of buses/trains to make them easier and more assessable for pregnant women and mothers.

So far I have found that the main worries and concerns for parents and mothers to be are:
• Unhelpful staff/ bus drivers
• Passengers pretending not to see them and not offering them their seats
• Seating often too low making it difficult to stand up
• Trouble lifting prams onto train/buses

I would greatly appreciate if you can complete my questionnaire (see bellow) in order to help me further my research.

Please feel free to talk about personal experiences and any additional information you may be willing to share.

Thank you for your time and help

Questionnaire for Pregnant Women and Parents

How often have you travelled on public transport when pregnant or since having your baby? And for what purpose?



What do you need to carry when you go out?



What are your likes/dislikes about travelling on public transport?



How do you find other passengers react towards you and your child?



Have you ever had to stand when you were pregnant?



Do you feel anxious about asking people for there seats?



How are the baby changing facilities at Stations? Are they clean? Is there enough space?



Are the seats comfortable on train and in station? Not too much pressure on back, bladder?



Do you have trouble lifting the pram onto the vehicle?



Is there enough space to put the pram? Is it comfortable enough? i.e. have baby facing you?



On trains do you pre-book? Do you know which carriage you need to be getting on if you don’t?



Are the staff generally helpful?



Do you have any suggestions on how public transport could be redesigned and redeveloped to make it kinder towards Mothers and Mothers to be? And would this make you use it more?



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It will benefit me greatly and hopefully one day it will benefit parents and mothers to be too.

Thank you once again. ]]> akash36 http://www.babyandbump.com/press-research/73452-pregnant-ladies-parents-public-transport.html http://www.babyandbump.com/press-research/73284-pregnancy-eating-disorder-anorexia-bulimia-purging.html Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:09:05 GMT Hi there, I work for a television production company based in the UK and we are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues... Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK and we are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stages of our production and are very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder. We’d like to get a better understanding of what pregnant women with EDs are going through to try and spread awareness of this issue.

We are keen to speak to women in both the UK and the US.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence and by no means commits you to the programme in any way.

You can contact me on: paula.wittig(at)rdftelevision.com or call me on +44 20 7013 4389.

Many thanks,

The National Diabetes Support Team are holding an Open Space event to share ideas and discuss how they can successfully support a woman’s journey through pregnancy from the pre-conception through to postnatal phase. The event will take place on Thursday 4 December at the Church House Conference Centre in Westminster, London from 9.30am - 4.30pm.

We are particularly keen to gain the views of women with diabetes (and their partners) on how services could be improved. We are looking for women who have had gestational diabetes, who have Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and have been pregnant in the past and also women with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes who are planning to start a family in the future.

If you are interested in attending or would like to have a chat about the day, please contact Kerrianne O'Rourke at Diabetes UK.

Phone: 0207 424 1000(x1210)

Any travel costs incurred in attending the event will be reimbursed.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon! ]]> Kerri http://www.babyandbump.com/press-research/72507-pregnancy-diabetes.html http://www.babyandbump.com/press-research/69978-shopping-survery.html Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:25:53 GMT Hi, I am trying to do a bit of market research.

I am trying to do a bit of market research. I am hoping in about 6-12 months to be opening my own shop selling high quality maternity and baby clothes (also premature baby clothing) at afforable prices.
What I am requiring is for a few people to answer some questions on where they purchased items from and how they chose these places.
I am really interested in pregnant ladies and parents of premmies. If you are either of these please state in your message. Though anyone with choldren would be very helpful.
If you are willing to help me I would be very grateful. as I need this information for my business plan.
If you reply to this message or post on here I will pm or email you the survey and then you can just send it back to me when completed.
Thank you. I understand you will all be busy. I myself am a mum to a premmie little boy which is what prompted me to do this.
Thanks ]]> 4mummy4me http://www.babyandbump.com/press-research/69978-shopping-survery.html http://www.babyandbump.com/press-research/69164-pregnancy-weight.html Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:25:40 GMT I am researching the issue of women's body image during pregnancy for a television documenrary which looks at the huge pressure many women feel to remain slim throughout their pregnancies/to get back to their pregnancy weight immediately after birth.

I'm keen to speak to young women about their feelings on this subject- do you feel the media coverage of celebrity mums such as Victoria Beckham miraculously shrinking back to their pre-pregnancy size puts an unreallistic pressure for other women to do the same? Do you find yourself worrying about your weight during pregnancy/after giving birth?

I'd be really interested in hearing about your thoughts on the matter and your experiences of body image during pregnancy ]]> gemmatruenort http://www.babyandbump.com/press-research/69164-pregnancy-weight.html
