What a great set of tips offered here by @fivexmore👍 For this to work well, the maternity services need to be ready to respond appropriately. With the support of @TeamCMidO, we know this CAN happen ❤ #fivexmoreAW2020. @BICSoc: are you in too? @NatMatVoicesorg @NPEU_Oxford

Welcome to the UK’s first Black women’s maternal health awareness week.

This week is designed to further highlight this statistic. We want to go a step further to uncover the fact that Black women have poorer experiences and maternal outcomes in general. #fivexmoreaw20

We are so pleased to have been invited to both NPEU public involvement consultation events last week. To give you some context these are the people in charge of the MBRRACE reports. In order for a change to happen, our voices as Black women must be heard in these important spaces

#ButNotMaternity

[#TheBBWeekender @IamTobiOredein]

This needs to be addressed immediately by the government.

I gave birth by myself & my husband didn’t see our baby until she was 3 days old. Giving birth alone was the most traumatic experience of my life. We must do better by those giving birth during this time #ButNotMaternity

Parliament are currently holding an inquiry into the safety of maternity services in England! 

We want to ensure the voices are of Black women are heard and will be submitting some evidence. To help us, please can you answer the next few questions! And share them too!

#MercyBaguma - appalled by this shocking story - so sorry that we are too distracted to not have seen you Mercy. Rest in peace

🙏 Say. Her. Name

Asylum seeker Mercy Baguma dies in extreme poverty with malnourished son by her side

In UK 14m+ people live in poverty incl 4m+ kids in a country that's #LandOfHopeAndGlory Disgrace

Yet they're fools dying on a hill over #RuleBritannia

Seven shots in the back. Seven shots. Seven. In the back. For breaking up a fight. I'm undone.

Shot in front of his children. I'm undone.

As #JacobBlake fights for his life, his kids are fighting off their trauma. I'm undone.

This is racial profiling- the sinister smirk is one of a privileged, entitled white woman who knows that there will be no backlash for her. Sorry you had to experience this @Akheyre76

So, just to recap for everyone, #Meghan’s horrendous crimes against the monarchy, while in the UK, included eating avocados, a one shoulder dress, closing a car door and touching her bump.
