Eternally grateful for everything this woman has given us through a lifetime's work helping other women ✨

“I want people to appreciate how well their bodies are designed to give birth,” she once said.

If you have lost a baby at any point in your life, pregnancy I'm here to tell you that you're not alone. We see you and we understand. Me and Amanda are holding space at Broadstairs every other Monday from 11am starting from the 15th of May for you to channel your sorrow, anger, disappointment, envy, or any other feelings that might rise in your grief.
This is an inclusive group, where it's okay to share or stay silent, it's okay to ask for a hug or just observe, you can come as many times as you would like.

These events will run on donations, every little helps but if you are someone on a low income please don't feel like you don't belong. Everyone deserves support. We are here for all of you.

So how do we cure hospitals of knobstetricians? Of matrons and patrons and all that old hierarchical nonsense?
A start would be to force all practitioners to go on training days learning about what true consent really means. Make sexual abuse/violence awareness training mandatory so obstetricians can become more aware of what might be triggering for women. Make it mandatory for all obstetricians to have to sit in (silently) on some normal physiological births so they also see what supports/ hinders them. Help obstetricians to see women as more than wrappers, more than packaging, more than dumb vessels. Mandate obstetricians to have to attend biodynamics study days so they know all the ways to support midwives and women to AVOID caesareans as much as how to perform them.

Why are some women are treated so appallingly in the birth room? The culture and attitudes that need to stop.
