@emjaneunsworth Brilliant article, thank you for expressing what so many new mother's feel. I run a peer support group in Brighton for women to share their experiences, their sadness, their rage and feel understood. Would be wonderful if you could attend and talk some time.

Writing a presentation & every time I do, this fact still hits me in the face, even though I say it so often.

SUICIDE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN WOMEN 6 WKS TO ONE YEAR POSTPARTUM.

This is why I work so hard with so many wonderful people to improve care and education.

A friendly, open weekly peer support group in Brighton for women and families affected by mental illness in pregnancy and after birth. Being a parent can be really tough, we all need support sometimes.

@EstherRuth2 @derpyydoggo @feralfloozy @SussexUni Nooooo! Such a bad decision. Put student welfare above fear from conservative judgement please @SussexUni

[Brighton & Hove City Council @BrightonHoveCC]

It's just one week before Brighton charity @TeamDomenica, which helps young people with learning disabilities into work, opens a new cafe in Hove Library. It's part of the council's plans to secure the future of the historic building for years to come. @BHLibraries @CafeDomenica

Every month, a combination of PMDD and OCD has me feeling rage, absolute despair and questioning my relationships with my husband, children and friends. Exhausting and scarring. #pmdd #ocd

@KirstenScarff This really drives home my frustration at HCPs who are giving out dates advice to vulnerable women in the postnatal period. I want to put it on a postcard and send it to every GP in the country....

[Elizabeth Duff @elizabethduff2]

Over 80% of maternal deaths happen in postnatal period; around 8% of maternity budget is allocated to it. We will not achieve safety until this imbalance is addressed @GillWaltonRCM @NCTcharity @MumsnetTowers
