Maternity Information
This page is just for all the lovely mums-to-be, you can find information on the following:
Maternity & Nursing Clothing
Maternity Things To Do
Maternity & Nursing Clothing Not exactly the easiest section to find in any store, and trapsing around a shopping centre/city centre when you’re carrying a bump is not the first thing that any expectant woman wants to do! So to help you plan ahead, here are the places that you can find maternity & nursing clothing in Sheffield.
Please tell us if you think we have missed a location as we want to make sure we have covered everywhere for our mums-to-be!
A note on maternity clothing – remember that you will not instantly return to your pre-natal figure, so take into account that you may still be wearing maternity clothing once the baby has arrived.
Nursing clothing – before we delve into where you can find nursing clothing, remember that you don’t necessarily need to buy specific nursing clothing. For example, wearing a vest underneath a t-shirt means that you can pull the t-shirt up and pull the vest down to get to whichever breast you need to, but without exposing too much post-natal flesh! And there is far more choice available in ‘normal’ stores! If you are breastfeeding your baby, then also remember to take into account that leaky boobs are to be expected, particularly in the beginning, so wearing patterned clothing is a good tip as leakages are well hidden.
Sheffield Centre & Independent Shops It is quite difficult to find shops that stock maternity clothing, however we recommend you look at the following stores who offer Free Delivery To Stores. You normally have to pay for the items in advance, but you should be able to try them on in store when you collect them and get a refund if they are not suitable. Marks & Spencers (Free Delivery To Store) – a small maternity range, mainly lingerie. John Lewis (Free Delivery To Store) – quite a good range, mainly branded products such as Seraphine. Keep your eye out for sales! Mothercare (maternity & nursing clothing in stock) – quite a good range, but generally more casual clothing. Asda, Handsworth (in stock and they also offer Free Delivery To Store) – the range in store is not great, but the free delivery to store is worth a look seen as you can do it from the comfort of your own home! H&M – a decent range of clothes right up on the top floor next to the children’s clothing worth checking every few weeks as new stock comes in.
Sheffield Meadowhall Meadowhall has a few places that you can find maternity & nursing clothing, you will normally find it near the children’s department, or tucked away in a corner. If you can’t find it then ask at the store (if you still have any energy left!) H&M – a decent range of clothes that you can find next to the children’s clothing. Keep checking every few weeks as new stock comes in. Also worth keeping your eye out for the sales here as they offer good discounts! New Look – hiding away in the corner of the upstairs floor you can find a fairly decent selection of clothes. Mothercare – quite a good range but generally more casual wear. Marks & Spencers – Maternity lingerie in stock Debenhams – A small selection of maternity wear and they also stock maternity lingerie.
Online There are so many online places to try that we simply can’t list them all. So the best thing we can suggest is to search on Google and you will come across brands such a Seraphine, Isabella Oliver etc etc.
Maternity Things To Do
Here a list of things that you could do (if you felt up to it!) but don’t underestimate how wonderful an afternoon nap is because it may be a long time before you get to enjoy such things again!
Please note that we do not recommend you do anything on this list unless you have been given the ok by your midwife/doctor AND you feel up to it. It is really important to take care of yourself during pregnancy, and although you don’t need wrapping in cotton wool, you do need to take extra care of your body as it is working overtime creating a beautiful little person. In particular, please remember that your joints loosen during pregnancy and so you should not put any extra strain on your joints/muscles as they are not as strong as they normally are. This means no heavy lifting, no over-stretching & generally being more gentle with yourself! Always check with your doctor if you are unsure about taking on any activity.
Birth & Parenting Courses (aka Ante-natal Classes) The Jessops Wing offer free ante-natal classes and they are definitely worth going on if you are a first time parent. For more information, dates and times contact the Parent Education Team on 0114 226 8454 or drop them an email at parenteducationteam@sth.nhs.uk
Pregnancy Yoga Right, now we’ve told you about how you mustn’t over-stretch, we are now going to suggest that you do some stretching! Pregnancy Yoga is a wonderful, gentle way to stretch your body whilst focusing on your inner strength and your baby. There are many classes out there, check our business pages to find one that’s right for you. Or you could buy a DVD so that you can do it in the comfort of your own home. Although if you’re anything like me, then you will need to attend a class to make sure you actually do it!
Swimming There may be nothing better than going for a swim when you’re pregnant, the weight of the baby instantly disappears and you feel like your old self again! Well, until you have to get out of the pool! Swimming is a great way to exercise gently as the water takes so much of your weight, however, we recommend that you take it steady! No swimming any marathons please!
Walking Walking is such a lovely way to get some gentle exercise, however in Sheffield it is all too easy to end up walking up what may feel like a mountain! So here are a few places that we recommend for a gentle stroll.
Endcliffe Park – Forge Dam. With two cafes en route, this is a lovely place to head for a walk. It’s great for the kids too and you can just about manage it with a pram, so why not get familiar with the route while pregnant! Simply start at Endcliffe Park (just off Hunters Bar roundabout), walk through Endcliffe park, Trippet Wood and Whiteley Woods until you get to Forge Dam where you can enjoy a nice cuppa at the cafe before heading back.
Graves Park. This is a great place with fantastic views and some lovely animals to look at (but not feed due to health implications for pregnant ladies). Simply park up and have a good walk around. There is also a cafe for when you need a sit down and something to eat.
Rivelin Valley. I just love Rivelin Valley, it’s fascinating seeing the old hydro power sluices and it is such a beautiful place. Park in the car park on Rails Road and walk towards the city. If you feel up to it you can keep going all the way to Rivelin Park (about 2.5 miles) where there is a cafe.
Start Thinking About Baby Things! This might sound obvious, but doing a bit of research before the baby arrives will really help you! Attending some antenatal classes is a great idea, especially if you are first time parents. There are various classes around such as hypnobirthing (which I can personally recommend!), check out our business pages to find one for you.
NCT – the UKs largest charity for parents, not only is it good to join a local NCT group to meet other mums-to-be but have a look at the courses they run too as they can be really good. You can find their website here
Another great resource is the Sheffield Sling Library who run regular meets where you can learn baby-wearing lingo, get shown different carrying techniques and hire baby carriers so that you can ‘try before you buy’. They are a not-for-profit and run by a local mum, we definitely recommend popping along to one of their meets before the baby arrives. You can find them on facebook here

A walk through beautiful woodland and alongside the stunning Derwent Reservoir, suitable for almost all pushchairs. The walk follows the Red Trail from the Fairholmes car park. It is an easy going route (except for the first 100m which are uphill!) and the paths are well maintained, although there are 4 steps to go up which you can see from the photo below. At Fariholmes car park you can find toilets, a small visitor centre/shop and refreshments outlet selling food, drinks and duck food. It is perfect for a picnic and there is lots to explore – we highly recommend the very short walk to the bottom of the impressive Howden dam.
The walk is estimated to take 1 hour
Parking/Public Transport Fairholmes is a pay and display car park or you can take the 273 bus route.
Directions
- From the rear of the car park follow the red trail signs over the road, through the gate and up the hill
- When you cross over the bridge follow the red trail to the right, up 4 steps
- Follow the trail straight on all the way round and back to the road
- Cross over the road and walk along the reservoir back the car park
- For a little extra fun, why not walk down to the bottom of Howden dam, it’s very impressive!
We have walked this route and believe it to be suitable for most pushchairs. However we have not tried it with a pushchair. If you attempt this route you do so entirely at your own risk

This lovely walk takes you along the quiet end of the Monsal Trail. The track is great and suitable for almost all pushchairs. The walk goes along the very end of the Monsal Trail which, unlike the rest of the trail, is rarely used by cyclists making it much more enjoyable to walk with a pushchair and/or little ones. There is lots to see on the walk, including the old Bakewell Train Station, the end sign for the Monsal Trail (perfect for family selfies!), and an enormous bridge with several high arches that are quite something to see!
The walk is estimated to take 1.5 hours
Parking/Public Transport
Directions
- From the car park, walk behind the old train station and turn right onto the Monsal Trail.
- Follow the trail all the way to the end.
- At the end there is a path on the right that will take you down to Coombs Road.
- Turn right onto Coombs Road and follow it all the way to the end.
- If you have time for a detour then turn left by the Agricultural Centre and have a wonder by the riverside which is what Bakewell is famed for (other than the pudding!)
- Turn right onto Station Road and walk back up the hill to the starting point.
We have walked this route and believe it to be suitable for most pushchairs. However we have not tried it with a pushchair. If you attempt this route you do so entirely at your own risk

A very interesting walk around Castleton that mainly follows quiet roads and pavements so the paths are easily suited to all prams and pushchairs. The walk takes in some beautiful scenery including the impressive Devil’s Arse cave entrance, the start of the Cave Dale path which has some lovely rocky features for little ones to explore, and if you are looking for a slightly longer route then there is even the option to walk to Castleton’s park. Make sure you check out the Discovery Centre next to the car park too. There are facilities including a baby change and refreshments in the car park
The walk is estimated to take 2 hours, or 1 hour if you don’t go to the park.
Parking/Public Transport There is a public car park at the start of the route. This is a pay and display.
Directions
- Follow the little stream (perfect for pooh sticks!) out of the car park and cross the road
- Walk between the cafe/shop and follow the street round alongside the river.
- Follow the signs to Peak Cavern (aka the Devil’s Arse!)
- Walk up to the impressive cave entrance and admire the amazing view!
- Walk back down but this time turn right over the bridge and keep going, following signs to Cave Dale
- Keep an eye out for the brown sign marking the start of Cave Dale and go up and have a look at the rocky outcrop
- Walk back towards the main street and either head back to the car park or carry on towards the park (follow signs for the Hollowford Centre). It is a quiet but small road.

Baby Spanish
Give your baby/toddler the chance to naturally soak up a second language!
Baby Spanish is a fun activity group, where babies and parents use Spanish whilst playing, singing and enjoying all sorts of activities. No previous Spanish is necessary; after all they’re starting at the level of a baby! (Don’t worry, they use English as well during the sessions…)
The group is designed and run by two Sheffield mums – an English Speech and Language Therapist, and a native Spanish language teacher. Between them they have the skills and knowledge to create a group that fosters natural language development.
The group aims to give parents the confidence to help their child get a head start in learning a second language by beginning to practice using Spanish during day to day activities. Everything is very practical and relevant to life with a baby – the sort of things parents and babies talk about!
Locations, Dates & Times: Baby Spanish: Mondays, Woodseats Scout Hall (S8), 3-4pm Baby Spanish: Fridays, Broomhill Methodist Church (S10), 10:15-11:15am Toddler Spanish: Tuesdays, Woodseats Scout Hall (S8), 2-3pm
