@mobear_c I have started developing something like this. Need to take an admin day soon to get more of it done! I’ll show you next time I see you 🤗

Just watched #MothersOnTheEdge @louistheroux what brave & brilliant women opening up & being so honest at their most vulnerable time to help raise awareness of #PerinatalMentalHealth feeling proud to work in this speciality 🤰🏻👩🏽👶🏻👨‍👩‍👧

[Dr Laura Richmond | laurarichmond.bsky.social @cooksferryqueen]

One message which came out loud & clear from #MothersOnTheEdge was this: trauma reawakens trauma. This is so key to perinatal mental health. Pregnancy & birth resurrect things we've long buried. #LouisTheroux #FromMe2MBU

About to catch up on #MothersOnTheEdge hoping for a good representation of perinatal care 🤗

More than 1 in 10 women will develop a mental illness during pregnancy or within the first year after having a baby. Today #maternalmhmatters focusses on explaining what perinatal mental health means and the different illnesses that can affect women and families. #pmhpwhatispmh

Had a good day learning all things perinatal at day one of the #perinatalmentalhealthmasterclass in York today. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings in Manchester 🤰🏻👪👶🏼 #PerinatalMentalHealth

[April OT @OT_april]

Inspiring talk from Dr Margaret Oates on the MBRACE report and maternal deaths at the #perinatalmentalhealthmasterclass this morning. I now feel more confident to challenge general psychiatric teams & advise about low thresholds in #PerinatalMentalHealth

@ClaireWhartonOT Good to know, thanks! Are you pure OT or care coordinating too?

[April OT @OT_april]

@libby_fincham @UoL_OT Ah great! Well if you ever have any questions just DM me 😊

Going from ward based to community based has been a challenge. Shout out to all the care coordinators, it’s a tough world out there! 🚗🏘
