@parentskooluk @liquoriceuk My local hospital offers a birth reflections service, a debrief, after all traumatic births #pndhour

@SusanCrowtherMW @NZmidwives @DrAlisonBarrett @lornamidwife Glad I didn't waste my money then!

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

Some days I struggle with 14 hour work days and no downtime. Get home and there's nothing left in the tank!

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

I simply cannot convey how I love working across the scope. Even after the hardest week of my career.

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

I work for a DHB in a secondary hospital. And I also case load my own LMC post natals and do locum clinics for MWs.

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

@DrAlisonBarrett Thank you. Love is carrying us all through.

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. So grateful that my locum work was canceled tomorrow. More time to spend with my mum and my boys <3

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

My mum is dying and has come to live her days out with us in NZ. Today my children saw her for the 1st time in 5 years #AllTheFeelings

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

@SusanCrowtherMW I love Newcastle! Hope you're having a fab time!

Weight of evidence is that mother baby contact beneficial but contact is restricted by unhelpful hospital NICU practices. @c_bartle #LLLNZ

@DrAlisonBarrett @LaLecheLeagueNZ #LLLNZ C/S rates have more to do with hospital culture than any other factor

[Melanie Batley @MelanieBatleyNZ]

@DrAlisonBarrett Lovely to connect in person today. Wish I was hanging around for the whole #LLLNZ weekend!
