@JaneCaro I think you miss the point. Have you never needed to challenge inappropriate behaviour by stranger males in public spaces, sometimes entering sex segregated spaces? If that male says they are a woman, then ‘no help is coming’ and it will likely end badly for you and other women.

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.

@Humanisingbirth @GillMoncrieff @ElizMMB @SagefemmeSB @nmcnews @SarahCoiffait @FrankaCadee @maryrenfrew @drtraceyc @hannahdahlen @lornamidwife All words become loaded and misrepresented by the doninant paradigm and we Midwives keep trying to bend ourselves out of shape to accomodate. Keep #normalbirth . It makes common sense. Fight back against co-opting and corruption of the language we use.

My first 1st author paper was published today! 🥳 Data from the #DREAMstudy suggest that the association between #FOC and #MotherChildBonding is mediated by #BirthExperience , pointing to the importance of a woman’s positive subjective experience.

Midwifery education standards should preference continuity of care experience as the optimal clinical education model. Education needs to help drive maternity reform. Trans-Tasman Midwifery Education Consortium.

@FlorenceDarlin1 What is the evidence base for the purported ideology about “normal birth at all costs”? Homebirth rates are low, few women can access birth centres, and normal birth rates continue to drop in most countries. Plenty of evidence for the long-standing problem of medicalisation.

“Women with lower socioeconomic status are more exposed to negative experiences during labour and birth”…. still. Thank you for keeping inequality on the agenda.

@HadiWaheed @AnnaTheMidwife 🙏 in the UK there seems to be scant attention paid to the impact of gestation on fetal brain development and the potential problems created by induction of labour or C/S. The ‘every week counts’ initiative does not seem to have much profile here.
