@Conservatives @DominicRaab I'm voting labour to save the NHS from the hands of palm-rubbing opportunist commercial vultures and a government that has pushed the NHS down on it's knees to breaking point quite deliberately! SHAME on your government. Boris recent photo op trip to Addenbrookes speaks volumes.

@realDonaldTrump Behind this and all around were thousands of people protesting about EVERYTHING you stand for you disgraceful liar!!!!

[Birthplace Matters @BpMatters]

@realDonaldTrump I was there, with thousands of others. You snake and liar!!! We were not cheering FOR you. We were there shouting angrily about you and your gang of cronies, with speakers representing every group of people you have trashed without a care. Screw you and your LIES!!!!

"Could it be, that although the face of obstetrics is changing.... the idea of the paternalistic consultant who comes straight from golf to check in on his 'little women' isn't shifting?"

My life as a midwife is nothing like it’s portrayed on TV https://t.co/6DRDRqmnbY

Patriarchy isn't a made-up concept by angry feminists.

It's a pattern of behaviours that seek to undermine or even override women's personal judgement and autonomy.

Make no mistake - this is why patriarchy... https://t.co/U7qzZA6s8J

If it's possible with one midwife it's surely possible in any system in the civilised world? Bring back breech skills! Trainee midwives need to gain more experiences of breech than they currenly get! https://t.co/BRfuzgKJwh

@ITVTonight @ITV Doulas help whether birth goes smoothly or not, bringing support, humour and love to any situation.

So well articulated! A sensible and more accurate voice on homebirth safety than someone making up a column based on assumptiums, ignorance and lazy journalism. https://t.co/1DpM162AXp

@KirstieMAllsopp What a patronising tweet. And anyway.... who even asked for your opinion?! Such a rude comment.

[Birthplace Matters @BpMatters]

So many innaccurate assumptions dressed up as fact. Very poor and disappointing journalism! https://t.co/fVve7Y34iM

I felt truly, appropriately, wonderfully supported by the NHS at 2 out of 5 of my births.

That amounts to 2/5 or 20%.

What do your figures look like?
