Matt Hancock Boris Johnson Professor Chris Whitty NHS West Herts Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust The negative impact caused by restrictions in maternity will be long-lasting. We need centralised guidelines to ensure they are removed #butnotmaternity #LockedOutOfBirth #BirthRightsDuringCovid #CovidBirthRights

Restrictions imposed during lockdown in maternity services are still in place in many NHS trusts despite a call to ease them. #butnotmaternity #LockedOutOfBirth  #BirthRightsDuringCovid   #BirthBlissDoulas  #DoulaSupport #BirthRightsDuringLockdown #LockDownBirthRights

My husband's not a visitor, he's a parent who's been shunned from his child. He can go to the pub, gym, a holiday & cinema #ButNotMaternity Birthing partners are still not allowed at inductions, antenatal appts and scans. Matt Hancock Stop denying parents their rights.

You can: Go to the pub, Have a wedding with 30 people, Have your hair done, Get on a plane, Yet in the majority of hospitals you can’t: Take your partner to scans, Have a partner attend an antenatal appt, Have your birth partner with you when you are induced #butnotmaternity

Makes sense, 2 no one! #butnotmaternity #EnoughIsEnough Trusts are not reviewing maternity restrictions even if they have not had a covid case in 5 months & fully staffed. This is not evidenced based policy. Matt Hancock Boris Johnson Professor Chris Whitty NHS London North West University Healthcare Royal College of Midwives 💙

Women and birthing people would like choices. The choice to have someone accompany them during their induction. It’s time change the current policy. Matt Hancock Boris Johnson Professor Chris Whitty NHS #birthworkersunited #butnotmaternity #doulasupport #birthrights #lockdownbirthrights

Elisabeth Grover Matt Hancock Boris Johnson Professor Chris Whitty NHS In Birthrights march statement they state a partners presence as a right of a woman to have support and the right of the partner to family life. birthrights.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

It’s time to review the current policies Matt Hancock Boris Johnson Professor Chris Whitty NHS. #birthworkersunited #butnotmaternity #doulasupport #birthrights #lockdownbirthrights

Not explaining in advance if a partner can attend a scan is cruel @ confusing. Maternity services need to be clearer about restrictions and have a clear, publicly available de-escalation plans that explain why one trust's policies may be different to another's. #butnotmaternity

Thanks to M A Y A O P P E N H E I M 💃🏻 ✍️ The Independent for covering our survey with Mumsnet. Let's spread the word that in the eyes of the law the person giving birth is the primary decision maker - no-one else. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Birthing people have been very patient but it’s now time to change the policy. Thank you Matt Hancock Boris Johnson Professor Chris Whitty NHS. #birthworkersunited #butnotmaternity #doulasupport #birthrights #lockdownbirthrights

Partners are not visitors. They are a parent. Women feel more confident and safe and loved with their partners close by. This, makes their labour more likely to be a positive one and possibly shorter too as the stress level is lower and the oxytocin higher! #ButNotMaternity

We're looking for new maker partners! Are you a #SocialEnterprise #communitybusiness #charity using #woodcraft to provide opportunities for people facing barriers to employment? We'd love to commission bowls/plates & more & can work flexibly/compassionately. Grateful for RTs.

Huge shout out to Royal Surrey for women-centred maternity care - partners welcomes at 12 and 20 week scans, throughout labour including induction, partners able to visit between 8am and 8pm on postnatal ward, second birth partners welcome! This can be done! #butnotmaternity
