Registered Midwives Emma H & Emma B. Caseloading and homebirth specialists. Empowering women, midwives and students to change the face of maternity care ❤️
Meta-analysis from @TheLancet of half a million mothers booked for #homebirth found: 40% <needed CS; 50% <likely to have instrumental; 55% <likely to have episiotomy; 40% <likely to have 3rd/4th degree tear; 75% <likely to have infection even if they gave birth in hospital. Wow!
@MidwiferyForum a day full of amazing speakers but feeling particularly motivated by the wonderful @sheena_byrom who made our long journey worth while with her inspiring words, kind support and by ending our day with a midwife selfie (you know we love a midwife selfie 😉)

Inequality stops here

Let us be clear: women should not be ‘involved’ in decisions about their health care; they should be MAKING them. As health professionals our duty is to give unbiased, evidence-based advice, and to support women in whatever decision is right for them. #womenshealth
