Our #birthtraumainquiry report last year recommended universal postnatal screening for trauma symptoms, so it's good to see the introduction of a short version of Susan Ayers's City birth trauma scale that can be used by midwives and health visitors. citybirthtraumascale.com/short-version

Great comment from Jess Phillips and this report is vital. There are five pregnant women in this report and three of them took their own lives. theguardian.com/society/2025/m…

Dear American friends. We agree that status quo in the Artcic is not an option. So let’s talk about how we can fix it - together. Lars Løkke Rasmussen Danish Foreign Minister

I often reflect on why the pain that women suffer is discounted so readily when we know so much more about it and women’s bodies. Pain is a profound and totally interior experience. Why do people not believe us when we say: “this really hurts?”.

I wish we said 'children of absentee fathers ' instead of 'single mothers' because how is the parent who stayed the problem??

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” -James Baldwin

I can't believe it, but I will be presenting some of my research at SRIP conference!!! Rebecca Matthews are you coming?

"The conditions of my prolapse were probably set during my 1st, traumatic birth — a concern I had raised immediately at the time but which had been so repeatedly, systematically dismissed that I’d even come to dismiss it myself." Emma Szewczak thetimes.com/article/9a3910…
