@kevinarowan @ITV No battles. No mentor for the contestants. Complete waste of time. Sorry all you acts who went out in this farce. No more Voice on Saturday nights for us. Couldn't care less any more

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

This is inhumane, tests are now so easily available! Why is this not public knowledge?

[Independent Midwife @MidwifeAnnabel]

@DHSCgovuk @CQCpressoffice @MattHancock Why are there NO Covid tests available to residents or staff in care homes till 7th September. Vulnerable adults being kept in isolation without visitors for 5 weeks against their will. This is cruel & torture.92 yr old mother is suicidal

[IMUK @IMUKMidwifery]

Is there an answer to this? Women are trying to arrange Homebirths....

What fascinates me is why we still use it despite no evidence that it improves outcomes for babies & plenty that it increases the risk of C/S!

[Evony Lynch RM @cornwallmidwife]

"What fascinates me the most about this unanswered, yet really important question is that in the 44 years since the possibility that the use of CTG monitoring might cause fetal heart rate pattern abnormalities, no research group has followed up on this." 🤔

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

@Vanessa_Kisuule There's certainly a world in between 🤣

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

@Vanessa_Kisuule you were brilliant in Oxford last night. I particularly liked the octopus & your take on pornography

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

@holliepoetry You were brilliant ❤...& no harmonica! 👍🏻

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

I haven't laughed so much in ages! @holliepoetry you are a legend!❤
How do I follow Vanessa?

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

@GibbleJo @AIMS_online @hallmum5 @bornstroppy @MidwivesRCM @sheena_byrom @millihill @BirthTrauma @JennytheM @Stroppybrunette @SarahDavies56 I have read this thread with increasing frustration. The focus should not be 'norma'l (not a dirty word) birth but woman centred care. I feel we are being treated as victims. Give women information. Give them the power to make decisions & support them & they can change their mind

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

@eeyanmiller In 1 I hope you are giving equal weight to her mental health. Severe PN depression is not a good outcome

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

This is so moving ❤

[Birthrights @birthrightsorg]

The 5th of October marked the 9th anniversary of Agnes Gereb's original arrest and imprisonment. Last year Agnes was finally granted clemency by the Hungarian President. This is a TED talk by Agnes and her daughter Dorka https://t.co/PPxLDECOfq

[Meg Miskin @MegMiskin1]

@birthrightsorg I find this terribly depressing! I would like to think this is a "given".
