Public health officials have issued a strongly worded message to pregnant women in the county after the deaths of eight babies from whooping cough.
Olivia and Noah remain in the top spots, says the ONS, for the most popular baby names in England and Wales but which other monikers made the top 10?
Parents who lose a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy can apply for a formal certificate from today that will acknowledge the loss of their child.
Kent health officials are urging pregnant women to have a whooping cough jab amid rising cases of the infection also known as the ‘100 day cough’.
