This is the core problem, “I love being a midwife, but I hate the care I am giving.” [& the system I work in]. It is the same across the world & over time. MWs leave & this causes understaffing & ⬆️ problems. Proposed solutions are inadequate and misaligned.

Well done the team! Awarded for creating #labourhopscotch in support of birth physiology so women can have a more comfortable straightforward birth #respectphysiology Sinead Thompson Dr Denise O'Brien Dr Mary Curtin

Wow!

Banning abortion never actually bans abortions. It just bans safe abortions. And everybody knows it.

Just back from a beautiful NHS Ayrshire & Arran home birth💗 on my elective placement. How special to see a woman during her pregnancy, be present at the birth and know I will be able to see her and her baby tomorrow. Karen Laura Muir UWS Midwifery Society UWS RCM Students Positive Birth Movement

Support and involvement of obstetric teams for Biomechanics for Birth is key to progressing it into standard care where it should be. Supporting physiology to make birth easier for women and babies. ❤️

Amazing to see this! Biomechanics for Birth to make birth easier and safer for women and babies.

Sharing this for anyone who needs to see it today. You are magical 💕Sheena Byrom she/her 💕

Continuity of care makes a huge positive difference

Gynaecoid is NOT the normal pelvis! Android pelvis is almost unknown in females. There’s a variety of shapes or as one study suggests a nebulous cloud. #Midwives & #obstetricians are educated using misleading & often false info about the female pelvis based on a study from 1933!

Such a delight to be involved in this wonderful project! Many thanks for all your hard Deepa. Thanks to the students willing to learn how to recognise when birth goes awry & the skills to resolve a birth process complicated by a mechanical issue 💖

The time has come for a paradigm shift in obstetrics’ medico-legal litigations. Intrapartum fetal surveillance is still a controversial issue sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

“There is great variation in reliability and agreement measures for continuous intrapartum FHR monitoring, implying that intrapartum CTG should be used with caution for clinical decision making given its questionable reliability.” Time for a rethink?
