@millihill I hear you and completely agree. It's a struggle to speak up in the Doula community about this. Thank you for sharing xx

[Milli Hill @millihill]

"Suggesting to children that it is possible to be born in the wrong body is misleading, regressive and potentially very harmful, and it is good that the DfE has clarified that this should not be done." 👏 https://t.co/RS8eupcXkE

[Boss Birth Doula @JackieRadley2]

Enough is enough. Human rights are being forgotten about and birth trauma and PTSD are on the rise. Pubs, gyms and schools are now open but a person giving birth cannot have their chosen partner with them during an induction or some antenatal services. #butnotmaternity

[Kate Jones Yoga & Birth @katejonesyoga]

Before you scroll by because you’re either not pregnant, not likely to be pregnant or don’t feel that this affects you, please understand that this affects ALL of us. We NEED mothers to be ok. Because well mothers = well children, well families, well society ❤️ #butnotmaternity

You can shop at Ikea but you can't have a second birth partner at your baby's birth? @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @CMO_England @NHSuk @HCTNHS @enherts #birthblissdoulas #birthworkersunited #butnotmaternity #doulasupport #birthrights

[Weary Cat @Sleepycat77]

Birth rights are human rights @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @CMO_England #butnotmaternity #lockedoutofbirth

[The Essex Birth Company - Kirstie Broughton @KirstieBrought1]

Rights have been taken away from birthing people and this is simply wrong. Bring back birth partners! @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @CMO_England @NHSuk @broomfieldnhs @MSEHospitals @MEHTexperience #ButNotMaternity

During the Covid-19 pandemic, restrictions of partners attending scans and appointments, as well as the time allowed into labour wards for partners and additional support staff have now come… https://t.co/RcAUwMpaBx

[Saima Kara @SaimaKara]

Enough is enough. Women's health matters. Families are being traumatised by limiting partner support in maternity care. Time for change. @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @CMO_England @NHS #butnotmaternity #LockedOutOfBirth #ProtectMyBirthBubble #BirthRightsDuringCovid #CovidBirthRights

@ipostparcels DMed you, please get back to me ASAP. Thanks

"A healthy baby is not all that matters - the birthing family's experience, feelings and memories also matter" @millihill @birthpositive #letstalkbirth19

[Saima Kara @SaimaKara]

The amazing @millihill founder of @birthpositive shares the backstory of her latest book "Give Birth like a Feminist" - she wants to start the conversation about Birth as a feminist issue and share the idea that women giving birth have power and choice 💪🏽 #letstalkbirth19

[Saima Kara @SaimaKara]

"With continuity of care, people are much more likely to share what's going on for them and you're more likely to spot differences in their health/wellness" @sidebysidedoula #letstalkbirth19

[Nurturing Birth @Nurturing_Birth]

Listening to @MarkWilliamsFMH talking about fathers experiences of #PND at #letstalkbirth19. So important that we know about this and acknowledge what partners go through.

[Saima Kara @SaimaKara]

Inspiring talk by Doula @_MarsLord: "5x more black women are dying in pregnancy than white women" - change starts with us. What racial biases do we have? How can we acknowledge and overcome this? #letstalkbirth19

[Nurturing Birth @Nurturing_Birth]

Here we are at #letstalkbirth19. @RealBirthCo Zoe talking about some of our favourite subjects - how fear is generated in pregnant women by the media, use of language and evidence based information for preparation
