Pregnant women are writing #ButNotMaternity on their bumps and sharing them on social media. Here’s why. aboutmanchester.co.uk/pregnant-women…

Despite guidance from NHS England in early September, pregnant women are still being told they must attend maternity appointments alone. The BMJ #ButNotMaternity blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2020/09/24…

Here, Jane Laking Dr. Gillian McKay @benjamblack explain the impact this can have. "Pregnancy and birth are daunting prospects for many women. Attending a hospital alone can be intimidating." #butnotmaternity blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2020/09/24…

Day of action for #ButNotMaternity - ⁦Croydon Health Services NHS Trust⁩ ⁦Chris Philp⁩, will you commit to prioritising maternal care services during the pandemic so no woman has to give birth or attend scans alone? instagram.com/p/CGkZ-knJdB3/…

Supporting #butnotmaternity day of action today. My partner wasn’t able to join me for the first part of labour or see our wee one at all for the 6 days we were in hospital after, this needs to change change.org/p/partners-all…

Partners allowed for entirety of labour/birth in ALL hospitals. #ButNotMaternity - Sign the Petition! chng.it/zFHPZ8kz via Change.org UK My daughter's baby died after a c-section 2019. The thought of her going through a birth in January without her partners support is agony.

This post by Kate Lawler Is everything. Expectant and new mothers MUST be given the right care and support they deserve. The #ButNotMaternity campaign is hugely important. Maternal Mental Health matters, or doesn't it? #postnataldepression #perinatalmentalhealth

kkerrie hep Nicola Sturgeon Absolutely disgusting! Hope you and Baby Finn are doing ok 💙 #ButNotMaternity

If this trust can do it then so can you! Birth partners should be allowed at all stages of labour including induction! Time to make a change Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust Barry Sheerman Alicia Kearns MP @PregnantScrewed #ButNotMaternity

Rosey Kate Lawler PMHP UK Maternal Mental Health Alliance @PregnantScrewed 👏 Really well said & so spot on about the effect of stress too. Having these restrictions on pregnant women and labouring women is inhumane. Having support at this vulnerable time is necessity not luxury!! #ButNotMaternity #perinatalmentalhealth
