Hi, I am Emily, a PhD researcher at the University of Edinburgh. I am looking for interviewees to take part in my study.
I would like to speak to women experiencing their first pregnancy who have not yet had their first scan (in the south of Scotland/borders area). My research is investigating women's experiences of pregnancy, especially of the growing baby. I would like to interview women three times over the course of pregnancy, once in each trimester, to consider how their changing bodies and encounters with health professionals shape their experiences of pregnancy and the baby. It will be very informal, and a chance for women to share their stories in confidence with a very eager listener. I will also provide refreshments. Each interview will take around 1 hour.
I think that it is going to be difficult to find women in the early stages of pregnancy, so please consider participating, or alternatively spread the word! I realise that the early stages of pregnancy can be a sensitive time, and have procedures in place to account for this. My research has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee in the Centre for Population Health Sciences, University of Edinburgh.
Please email me to take part or for more information, or visit my website:

Thank you! Looking forward to hearing from you. From Emily

I just wanted to add that I am seeking women who have not yet had their first trimester (dating) scan, so if you have had another scan prior to this, you will still be eligible to take part. Thanks!

Hi babanouche, thanks for responding to my post! I wish I could post in the local section, but mumsnet only allow research-related posts to go in the 'classified' section I believe; I will double check though! Thanks again for responding! x

Ooh that's annoying. How about I go and leave a post on your behalf? Surely they'd allow that? We'll see!

Hey Emma, I left a message in 3 separate local sites but they're pretty quiet so I don't know if it'll do much good. Good luck anyway.
