anglocelt.ie/2020/06/05/mat… All midwives should use their voices to ask pertinent questions about this decision, taken with no review, no discussion, no external input. As a DOM of one of the large maternity hospitals, I am offering my expertise to look at this situation.

I was very lucky as a student midwife to have placements in midwifery led units in the uk. It gave me a wonderful grounding in normality and seeing unhurried natural midwifery in partnership with women. Ireland needs more of this not less.

The world needs more midwifery-led maternity units, not fewer. #ICM urges its global community to sign the Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation 'Save Cavan Midwifery Led Unit (MLU)' petition: bit.ly/2XNuryN

Meta-analysis from The Lancet of half a million mothers booked for #homebirth found: 40% <needed CS; 50% <likely to have instrumental; 55% <likely to have episiotomy; 40% <likely to have 3rd/4th degree tear; 75% <likely to have infection even if they gave birth in hospital. Wow!

Planning a birth at home, even if a transfer to hospital is required, significantly reduces the need for intervention and improves outcomes. Half a million mothers, is this enough evidence to support changes in practice Simon Harris TD MidwivesAssociation #VaccincesWork National Women & Infants Health Programme Department of Health

Fabulous opportunities to join the Domino midwifery team in SLGHK

Today we’re so excited to be in Birmingham doing our first face-to-face Advanced CTG Masterclass since the Covid pandemic began. We’ve got over 100 delegates with us over the next two days, all learning about complex cases and fetal monitoring in labour.

We’re starting day two of the Advanced CTG Masterclass with a recap on the three types of hypoxia with Susana Pereira, and then onto the quiz! #HowIsTheBaby

Being proactive not reactive and AVOIDING acute hypoxia identifying those more at risk! The anaesthetist role on labour more than just “doing epidurals”. #howsthebaby Baby Lifeline Training 💙 Kingston Maternity KingstonGasDocs Susana Pereira
