Mother of three and a full time caseloading midwife, decided to start a blog to show people what caseloading is like day to day.

@maddielazarus 😂 can you imagine 😮

I have said a couple of times how well the team in maternity has done to resolve issues after the community midwives service went in to administration- but this is lovely feedback from a recent mum https://t.co/y9rSUxnMH6

[Sarah Cleary 💙 @SarahCl79]

So proud to support WHH with the Big Latch this morning. Fab to work together in supporting mums with breastfeeding. 🤱❤ @kconky @WHHNHS @YmNicola87 @Midwife_Claireb #breastfeedingweek #Breastival #normalizebreastfeeding #NationalBreastfeedingMonth

@JuliaCumberlege @NHSEngland still no reply, please there’s thousands of people across the north west who need an explanation!

[caseloading_mother_midwife @caseloading]

@JuliaCumberlege how does it make you feel knowing a model of care that truly supported and implemented the vision of better births, has been forced to close due to lack of NHS support? #betterbirths #continuity #womencentred #justgoingroundincircles

[aims.org.uk @AIMS_online]

AIMS is shocked saddened and concerned that @121Midwives is in administration. We call upon @dunkleybent and @NHSEngland to ensure women continue their care - we are hearing otherwise.
We are also upset that this curtails womens choice for politico-financial reasons not medical.

Currently on Annual leave enjoying some time out with my kiddies it’s been grounding! The thing with caseloading is you never really switch of to it but that’s ok and it’s took me a while to realise this! #happyholidays #rest #relaxation # #caseloadingmidwife #timewiththekids 👌🏻

[caseloading_mother_midwife @caseloading]

it’s simplicity to explain some complex issues is great for supporting when discussing choices with families, It also comes with some great birth plan print outs, I often find these trigger so many questions and open up discussion about all elements of birth #thepositivebirthbook
