@BBCPolitics 100% agree. I've spent my mat leave homeschooling my 9 and 4yr old. No quality 1 to 1 time with my baby. He's still not met another baby. It's devastating. Missed so much. We're not asking for much!

@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak please, please do the right thing. No postnatal support, no health visitors, no weigh in clinics, no interaction with other new mums and babies, no childcare inductions. Vulnerable mums left alone. You can make things a little easier. #maternitypetition

@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak tomorrow I finally get to enjoy one to one time with my baby as his siblings go to school. Shame we've missed the last 6 months of this precious time..time we'll never get back. The impact is devastating. Please help #maternitypetition

@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak my 9 month old baby has never met another baby or been left with anyone. I've spent my mat leave homeschooling my other 2 children. We deserve extra time to salvage abit of what our babies deserve. Please help us #maternitypetition #lockdownbabies

@10DowningStreet describe our maternity leave as 'amongst the most generous in the world'
@BorisJohnson just because the leave we're entitled to is satisfactory in ordinary times does NOT mean it is good enough during a global pandemic

@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak tomorrow will be the 1st day I get a glimmer of what maternity leave should be like after spending 6 mths exhausted and stressed home schooling my other children...whilst juggling my newborn. Why can't you see we deserve your support? #maternitypetition

@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak I've spent my maternity leave homeschooling my 8yr old and caring for my 4yr old, all whilst juggling my baby. So, so sad to have lost this precious time with my baby. Please listen and do the right thing #maternitypetition
