@truthoutthere12 @kiityc@catherineroyuk @hazard_leah No where did i say i had it in for doulas
They can provide good support
The Dutch; Swedish care systems have been explored for decades but have not been implemented here
Ive worked with some βlay MWsβ who want to interfere when your back is turned - id call that dangerous imo
@truthoutthere12 @kiityc@catherineroyuk @hazard_leah You cant have it both ways
Advocacy is a means to represent others & provide advice / support
Its Not to dictate which way the baby is to be born or ignore what the mother requests
@truthoutthere12 @kiityc@catherineroyuk @hazard_leah No idea & never will have if you post negative comments like that
Doulas do have a place but not if they think they can tell me how to care for a labouring woman
I have worked hard for my experience & still have mothers /families that keep in touch
So jog on
@truthoutthere12 @kiityc@catherineroyuk @hazard_leah I consider your post offensive
I am a MW & have always been honest; sometimes to my own detriment - but i will call it out.
However, it has been identified that some MWs are not always honest & hope this is what you are referring to whilst commenting on hearsay
@truthoutthere12 @kiityc@catherineroyuk @hazard_leah I am a midwife & consider your opinion offensive
Saying that i have not always been popular because i call it out for what it is
However, i agree thst some MWs have been identified as not always being honest.
But you cannot tie everyone with the same brush
@truthoutthere12 @kiityc@catherineroyuk @hazard_leah Negligence is when midwives fail to act in accordance with the expected care
When they fail to monitor or treat mums / babies with what is considered to be expected care
Normality is nothing to do with negligence
Except when MWs keep women / babies as normal when they are not
@EmilyJBarley There are not enough staff to care for the women, newer mind considering the fear of litigation
They can produce as many guidelines as they like but if there are not enough staff to care for women, or no beds - mistakes will happen
