@DLPHelp @DisneyParis_EN Can’t change our travel plans at all. Big surprise for the kids & great expense to get there. Is there any way we find out what won’t be running? Looks like there’s no PoC today (Monday 5th).

For women who gave birth via an elective caesarean section, black Caribbean women were 58% more likely to be given a GA compared to white women. Black African women were 35% more likely to be given a GA.
Shocking inequalities. We should be ashamed of ourselves #maternity

@maddiemoate @BBC_Teach This is great, I’ve just checked out the website! Is there any way that home educators can get hold of them? My children would love this! And the linked learning ideas look brilliant.

"Nearly 40% of English #maternity services are classed as inadequate or requiring improvement" WHY isn't this a national scandal? Report published tomorrow by @SandsUK & @tommys

Muslim women come from diverse backgrounds and can look and dress in many different ways. Join us in celebrating the diversity of Muslim motherhood and let's break down stereotypes and promote understanding and respect for all cultures and religions

@SisterShawnRM @optibreech @MidwifeSpillane My sentiments on this scan programme whilst rejecting Optibreech were expressed on NNUH Instagram. We need confident, skilled & supported VBB care so families can make informed choices following these scans.

The care that health professionals give you in maternity must respect your dignity and your freedom to make decisions about yourself (this freedom is called autonomy).

Sarah is such a special soul & I count myself lucky to know her & her beautiful family. Please give anything you can so she can have more time.

My wonderful friend Sarah was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer last year. She is going to have to start paying for treatment that’s not free on NHS. Every donation helps and gives her more time with her daughter Bea ❤️ donate here: https://t.co/A0sEHgGyTz

Did you know that there is a word, coined in 1973 by medical anthropologist Dana Raphael, to describe the huge physiological and psychological transition that women make when they become mothers?

That word is 'Matrescence'.

At some point in all our lives we will be kept alive by a nurse. Morally and practically we should pay them properly. Yet my nursing colleagues have had a decade of real terms pay cuts - I support the #nursingstrike - it’s not about politics it’s about public health. Some say…
