Active Comparator: Mellow Bumps + care as usual
MB is a six week group-based antenatal programme designed to support families with additional health and social care needs.
MB is intended to decrease maternal antenatal stress levels, increase expectant mothers' understanding of neonates' capacity for social interaction and emphasise the importance of early interaction in enhancing brain development and attachment.
It is delivered non-didactically to maximise participant engagement and rapport.
Each week there is one activity focused on the woman and another on a baby-related topic.
The programme is designed to be offered between twenty to thirty weeks' gestation.

It is delivered non-didactically to maximise participant engagement and rapport.
Each week there is one activity focused on the woman and another on a baby-related topic.
The programme is designed to be offered between twenty to thirty weeks' gestation, to capture the period when the risk of miscarriage is low and fetal movement felt, but before major preoccupation with the delivery.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Anxiety, Depression and Irritability Measured on Adult Wellbeing Scale
Time Frame: Post intervention (approximately 9-12 weeks after baseline)
|
Anxiety, depression and irritability measured on Adult Wellbeing Scale at 9-12 weeks after baseline. The Adult Wellbeing scale (AWS): a validated questionnaire which generates scores in four domains - depression, anxiety, outward-directed irritability and inward-directed irritability. The sub-scales have different cut-off scores that indicate a possible problem in that area: Anxiety (normal=0-5, borderline=6-8, problem 9-15), Depression (normal=0-3, borderline=4-6, problem 7-15), Outward directed irritability (normal=0-4, borderline=5-7, problem 8-12), Inward directed irritability (normal=0-3, borderline=4-6, problem 7-12), |
Post intervention (approximately 9-12 weeks after baseline)
|
Depression Measured on EPDS
Time Frame: Post-intervention (approximately 9 -12 weeks after baseline)
|
Depression as measured on the EPDS at 9-12 weeks after baseline Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS): is a standardised questionnaire which generates a single score. Normal score=0-9, Borderline=10-12, Probable depression=13-30. |
Post-intervention (approximately 9 -12 weeks after baseline)
|
Anxiety, Depression and Irritability Measured on Adult Wellbeing Scale
Time Frame: Post-birth (8-12 weeks postnatal)
|
