Happy ! Gosia stopped smoking during pregnancy, along with her partner. She said “It's never too late to stop smoking. It was very important for me to quit to give my little girl a healthy start in life. Stopping smoking during my pregnancy improved my health too and as my partner also quit, our home is now smoke free."

For free support to stop smoking call 0800 735 1155 or visit: gov.je/stopsmoking 🚭

Dear Ladies,

Thank you for participating in the Diet and Lifestyle Research Project at the Maternity Unit at Jersey General Hospital.

I am just writing to tell you that your participation in this study is completed.

Within the next two weeks, you will receive my letter with your Certificate of Completion, as well as your individualized nutritional feedback based on the Food Frequency Questionnaire FFQ (diet before pregnancy).

Your diet review was compared with the Eat Well Guidance https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/the-eatwell-guide/, which shows how much of what we eat overall should come from each food group to achieve a healthy, balanced diet.

Unfortunately, for some ladies, the diet review could not be produced due to incomplete information.

More insight into the research will be available once the relevant data has been analysed and released on https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Urszula_Sliwka

For any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Thank you once again for your commitment to the project.

I wish you all the best in the New Year!

Kind Regards,

Urszula Sliwka

A PRIZE DRAW ON 15TH SEPTEMBER 2018

Thank you for participating in the Diet and Lifestyle Research Project at the Maternity Unit at the Jersey General Hospital.
I hope you and your baby are doing well.

As a sign of my appreciation, I will enter the name of every lady who filled in both questionnaires (diet before pregnancy and diet during pregnancy) into a prize draw on 15th September 2018. The winners will be contacted directly with the results. All names of the study participants are confidential.

We have 83 ladies involved in our study project and we have four different gifts. You could win either:
• a £50 voucher to spend with the Exquisite Photography in Jersey,
• a £50 voucher for shopping at the Lalilou Boutique in Jersey,
• a £50 worth gift set from Rescue & Renew Line from the Health and Wellness Company Arbonne International,
• or a £50 voucher to spend at N**e Food Limited Jersey.

I know that becoming a mum is very time consuming and that there is a lot on your mind at the moment, but I write to kindly remind you that I have not yet received the second Food Frequency Questionnaire sent to you in relation to the study I am conducting on nutrition in pregnancy.

I would be most grateful if you could spare a few minutes and kindly return the filled questionnaire about your diet during pregnancy to the Antenatal Clinic by the 31st August 2018, if you haven't already done so.

For any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me directly on my mobile: 07700700652, via email on: [email protected], through the website: www.pregnancy-study.co.uk created for this study project or FB address https://www.facebook.com/DietLifestyleProjectJersey/

Every questionnaire is priceless for this study project and your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your commitment. I wish you all the best.
