aOne respondent identifying as White British appeared to belong to a religious minority as they reported religious needs in subsequent sections of the survey, and one respondent identifying as White British had been born outside the UK
bSome of the ethnicity data from the community consultations was recorded in more general classifications such as ‘Asian’ or ‘Black ethnicity’
cCollected for survey participants only
d Twenty-two (24.2%) participants reported more pregnancies than number of children, which could relate to a perinatal loss, or a twin/multiple birth
e Thirty-four (37.4%) gave birth to their youngest baby before March 2020 (i.e., prior to the COVID-19 pandemic). For the remainder, it is likely their perinatal care was affected due to the pandemic
