The narrative that normal birth is killing people is utter poppycock. Coercion, bullying, understaffing, underfunding, drugs & instruments are killing us. An ideology of not listening and not believing us. And the skills to support my choices and health, lost. #butnotmaternity

Today our final report of the Independent Review of Maternity Services SaTH has been published. The full report can be found here: ockendenmaternityreview.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Incredible work releasing the shocking and important #ockendenreport. My heart goes out to all the families affected. So much respect to Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci and the mothers who fought to be heard.

Where systems fail, misinformation thrives. No Exit: Technocratic vs ‘wild’ birthing in The Pitt finale #femtech #gendereddesign #thepittseason2 #freebirth open.substack.com/pub/femtechdes…

This piece from the The New York Times on #freebirth sensitively covered this dangerous movement. It's essential that #midwifery assisted births and unassisted births be differentiated. 👏🏻 Still, it missed some key things (see thread ⬇️) nytimes.com/2026/04/22/sci…

I wrote a piece on the underlying reasons why women choose or feel left with no other choice to choose to birth unassisted. I used the "wild pregnancy" storyline in the season finale of #thepitt as a jump off The context for these choices matter The New York Times femtechdesigndesk.substack.com/p/no-exit-tech…

If we continue to push the reasons of why so many women feel it's unsafe to give birth in US hospitals down to a footnote or leave it as subtext, we're going to continue to create more real-life Judiths. #freebirth isn't a trend popping out of nowhere.
