@warkspolice Now waiting 2 hours in a live line on a busy dual carriageway for assistance. AA won’t come out til I’m in a safe place. Have spent past 2 hours looking at the site of a recent fatality.

@laurakgoodwin Independent Midwife here! Happy to help

@Novavax @CEPIvaccines Apply for approval in the UK then!! We are in limbo - can’t travel, have other vaccines etc. What do we do for a booster? And in the UK we received NO money

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

@BorisJohnson Congrats on pregnancy! How about support for Independent Midwives? How come festival attendance is more important than birth? £75 million for their insurance but nothing for us?

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

The UK government is supporting festivals and concert organisers to the tune of £75 million but won’t support independent midwives to the tune of £3 million #shameonyou #HumanRights #midwife

@Optegra When you bring your Mum into the centre if Birmingham to have surgery at 0900 and find they cancelled it - without telling you. And they are in the congestion charge zone #poorservice

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

@Novavax So I volunteered - for travel expenses only - to test your vaccine. Now I can’t get my NHS app to recognise it. Please get it approved ASAP - people over profits

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

@novavaxUKvol But you need it on your vaccine passport. A piece of paper just doesn’t cut it!

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

@Margare68637231 @DHSCgovuk Or me!

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

@Novavax And when will you have it approved in the UK? Come on @Novavax. Your volunteers cannot use the vaccine passport to travel. We helped you - now you need to help us!

@TheRAC_UK Now waiting over 2 hours for you to answer the phone!!!!Call answered - then cut off immediately. This is not acceptable

Birth at home. First time Mum supported by her husband and mother.

[Sam Todd @sjtodd16]

Midwives attending a homebirth are “professional guests". As such they are in your home by your invitation and will endeavour to fully honour and respect your personal space, your individual birth choices and birth plan wishes, and your family's cultural and religious practices.

@HotelChocolat My lovely order came today but with the biggest bit (my treat!!) missing 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

I have plenty of those!!

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

Yup! Was at a magical homebirth overnight; first baby. Then saw the biggest fox in the world on the drive home (I always see a fox after a homebirth).

@TeamCMidO Really?? Homebirth services withdrawn locally. No response to offers of help off IMs who are fully trained & experienced. Women being left unsupported.

[Acorn birth Services @AcornBirth]

@SjMIDwIfE75 @BACtoNormality @danimoo80 @IMUKMidwifery @TeamCMidO @millihill @sheena_byrom @nmcnews @theRCN Yes!!! Let’s talk
