@oxytocinmagic @Starbucks @NHSMillion @CostaCoffee Totally, not depriving anyone of caffeine as one who lives off it, but the concessions are alsorun by franchisees. It's difficult but 100% agree that if the concessions are there, funded by the NHS, staff should be getting a coffee

@SBreward These toddler formulas are not only nutritionally unnecessary & unhealthy but also harmful to the environment & responsible for half the #greenhousegas emissions by these processed dairy products. Support mums not industry profits @tanya_plibersek #auspol https://t.co/O2mme413D5

@Iainlinsdell Hi! I hear you're retired! Congratulations! I'd love to give you an update on our now almost "adults", Riley & Honey-Rae. Pop me a message if you'd like 😀

@An_armadillo @_f_i_l_i No, I said it and you replied "it's been mainstream for years"

[The Doula Element @TheDoulaElement]

How is this happening?!

[Jen RM🤱🏻🤰🏾 @oxytocinmagic]

Found out today that women who receive perinatal mental health support in pregnancy 🤰🏾 & have their baby removed at or shortly after birth are no longer supported by perinatal mental health services but transferred to general mental health support pathways 1/2

@oxytocinmagic I'm in Alderley, but was in Gee Cross growing up. Have you seen the archives at Manchester? Lacey Green was one of the Handforth estates

[The Doula Element @TheDoulaElement]

@oxytocinmagic It was huge. My family had a choice of Handforth, Burnage or Hattersley. They chose the greenery in the hills, one next door but 1 to Ian Brady! They moved once they could purchase their own property into a neighbouring town

@SisterShawnRM How bizarre! And why is oral paracetamol still the go to?

@Doulamaddie @talkJenny @MidwivesRCM @Siobhan_Baillie She means we are selling Transcripts of our support visits in mat units to spy on Midwives. Not sure why she'd be worried about birth notes? Not sure why a lawyer would buy them?

@talkJenny @TheDoulaElement @MidwivesRCM @Siobhan_Baillie I know a lot of doulas, and none that want to be employed.A doula started the campaign,more doulas gathered momentum then Midwives have directed the goals alongside doulas.The role of doula and midwife are not interchangeable?The campaign has clear midwifery driven goals.

@ktdoulaadvocate @Doulamaddie I've been there all evening struggling

Thank you to ⁦@Siobhan_Baillie for not only raising several vital points regarding the midwifery workforce in last night’s debate but also discussing the disparity in maternal mortality rates between women from Black and Asian ethnic groups and White women ⁦@mbrrace.
