There’s a barbaric tradition known as “Money wife” in a remote village in Cross river state called Becheve where girls as young as 10 years old are being sold into marriage I decided to travel down to learn more about how these girls are being robbed of their childhood A thread

So wonderful to see an example of a mental healthcare professional going the extra mile like this. Someone who is definitely in the right job. 💕

I think of wee Alexander often as his mum Emily shares how much joy he brought to their lives. My little girl is the same age as he was and I really can’t imagine the pain and grief of losing him so suddenly.

This really does make for appalling reading. Both as a midwife and as a mother.

A nice wee moment in Edinburgh. For the first time in her life, Pinki encounters snow. And she was absolutely delighted.

My friends have had similar experiences trying to get antibiotics for their poorly children. It really is heartbreaking.

This is so lovely. Little acts of kindness like this really do go a long way working in what often feels like a crumbling service. 💕

Parents! Resist the urge to allow your children to socialise, exercise or experience the natural word: Force them to live a purely theoretical/abstract life in which they are prohibited from doing anything real!

This is such an important message from Hannah Barnes. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your experience. As a midwife and a mother reading about these awful experiences is hard to bear. Women deserve so much better.
