Courageous piece by @hannahsbee about her own experience of birth trauma. Grateful for the mention of @theodoraclarke and me and our inquiry. And one of our strongest witnesses @EmilyJBarley 💜 thetimes.co.uk/article/f6ff7f…
A timely reminder to support @Safe_Maternity campaign for a national inquiry. When we have reacted a point where midwives publicly state women lie about fetal movements to get an induction whilst babies die when women who report reduced fetal movement aren't believed, it is…
Reports into the safety of maternity and neonatal services consistently highlight similar recurring issues. @SandsUK and @tommys Joint Policy Unit has looked at 30 different reports to identify key themes. Tell us what you think is needed to make progress in each of these areas.
Mother whose baby was stillborn 2 years ago says lessons 'still not learnt' at two hospital trusts. itv.com/news/calendar/…
Are @LeedsHospitals hiding the true state of their maternity service from their board?

Today my beautiful daughter should be 8 yrs old. Apparently it gets “easier” and time “heals” but it doesn’t. I’m so broken and I miss her so much. I just want to show Harriet off to the world.
Ben and Jodie Blackwell demand a national public inquiry into maternity services after an inquest confirms their son Ethan would have lived had he been delivered 7 hours earlier in May 2021. Failures @UHDBTrust Royal Derby Hospital. More @bbcemt 1330 /1830
I met with @mariacaulfield this morning to talk about Beatrice, maternity safety, and our call for a #MaternityInquiry @Safe_Maternity. We covered a lot of ground in an hour and I hope this is just the start of an ongoing conversation.
Happy 3rd birthday Jasper. I miss you so very much. The pain is always difficult but this year it really really hurts. I hope we’re doing you proud little man x
@Safe_Maternity @hannahsbee This rings true. After having the truth about Aliona withheld from us for hours, a pen was suddenly shoved into my hand. I could barely see the paper, let alone sign my name properly. Imagine how easy an informed consent conversation could have been at any point prior to this.
An incredibly important piece from @hannahsbee, echoing much of what our users tell us about their experiences of maternity care and birth trauma

A brave, brilliant and deeply thought-provoking article by @hannahsbee in the @NewStatesman. A tragically sad indictment of UK Maternity care in the 21st century. This should be a compulsory read for every single, Midwife, Obstetrician and NHS Manager.

Does RCOG now accept that having caesarean 🎯 rates was a mistake? @RaneeThakar "It’s difficult for me to say years later, whether it was a mistake or not" Do you mean that obstetricians didn't know that limiting access to caesareans would cause death & injuries? Hard to believe

This is one of the best overviews of everything wrong in England's maternity services that I've ever read. It covers all the main issues IMO. Thank you @hannahsbee for writing and for including me & Bea. It is very brave of you to share your own birth trauma experience ❤️

Heartbreakingly brilliant article here from @hannahsbee: "One crucial area of improvement does not cost money at all. It requires a shift in attitude to one where women are treated with respect, listened to and allowed to make informed decisions about their bodies and babies."

Maternity lawyers claim the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton has a culture of 'failing to learn from mistakes' with repeated themes cropping up time and time again They have lost faith in the trust over its willingness to improve derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-new…
However, I disagree that we need to implement findings of local investigations before doing a #MaternityInquiry @Safe_Maternity: 1) local reviews have limited ToR and are not set up to address national problems. 2) we want to implement local findings while a PI is underway.
I welcome this comment from @wesstreeting. He clearly understands there is a system-wide problem in maternity care - something the government continues to deny. I'm also pleased he recognises this is not just a staffing issue, and that culture and listening are critical.

Another horrific and preventable baby death at @UHSussex - Esme died after her mum repeatedly called for help because of stabbing pains and bleeding. Mum Chloe was told to 'live her life' and 'go to Waitrose' when she was suffering with a deadly placental abruption.

"The hospital conducted an investigation which found 10 missed opportunities. It was confirmed, that I had a placenta abruption. It was also discovered that I had polyhydramnios which went undetected"

@GMB I’m so sorry Tanya, Ashton 💔. Our daughter was stillborn after a 6 day negligent labour at Nottingham. This is happening around the country. @Safe_Maternity is a group of unnecessarily bereaved families calling for a public inquiry. Pls reach out if we can help in anyway.
@FionaWinserRamm @Safe_Maternity I absolutely agree with you wholeheartedly, my point here was simply to highlight that though very few, there are units that don’t breed this toxic culture we see elsewhere and these should be used as an example to others
@Safe_Maternity Horrifying that there are ppl expecting a baby right now (or not even pregnant yet) that have unbearable grief in front of them and they don’t even know it. The govt is willing to devastate more lives before it deems the crisis worthy of action. I wonder how many is enough?
So proud to be a part of this group working alongside some other bereaved parents who are not only an inspiration to me but are also some of the kindest, most supportive and empowering people I have ever met.
In advance of the debate, the Lords Library published an article summarising some of the recent data and developments in maternity - and we got a mention! The government continues to ignore us, so it's good to know that others in Westminster have noticed. lordslibrary.parliament.uk/performance-of…
The leadership @SwanseabayNHS need to scrap Terms of Reference for independent maternity inquiry & work with families to create terms like the @DOckendenLtd review in #Nottingham. If they refuse @WelshGovernment need to step in. Families must be involved. ockendenmaternityreview.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
@ChannonRobert @SwanseabayNHS @WelshGovernment Dear Rob & Sian: I’m so sorry to hear everything you & Gethin have endured. You are correct of course: families must have full trust in an independent review process: for that they need meaningful engagement from the beginning. Pls let me know if @OckReview team can help at all
The #SandsListeningProject was today published. I am grateful I had a chance to speak with the team and be able to discuss some of the concerns I had in my own pregnancy related to ethnicity and race in maternity care. @SandsUK @Safe_Maternity
@ExNHSorthopod @MartynPitman @jackhawkski 2/2 🧵is multi professional : there’s never just a midwifery or obstetric review. We recruit other team members according to need: eg: urology, gen surgery, genetics etc. Maybe read the @OckReview reports from Shrewsbury which explains this? As Chair I bring the team together
@ExNHSorthopod @MartynPitman @jackhawkski 1/2 Mark & all: to confirm: I have a v large independent multi professional team made up of pretty much every role found in & around a leading maty unit. Includes midwives, obstetricians, neonatology, anaesthetists, intensivist, physician, cardiology, pathology, every review ..🧵
@rsparklebomb I’m so sorry to the parents and you. I can perhaps begin to understand because our daughter died during a 6 day labour, a perfectly healthy baby, died due to negligence. We think about her ever day, beautiful perfect Harriet @Safe_Maternity
@Safe_Maternity @JamesTitcombe Given @JamesTitcombe concerns expressed about @theHSSIB and its forerunners and their other offspring, and given other concerns expressed by families and their advocates like @BabyLossLawyer and pslhub.org/learn/investig… this should all feature in a proper review of processes
@Safe_Maternity Hi @Safe_Maternity, we would welcome a meeting with some of your members to discuss this treatment by the NMC and GMC. If you could please get in touch with us via [email protected] we will look to get a meeting scheduled. Thank you
@ReynoldsLynda @Safe_Maternity IIRC, when taking into account downstream costs of incontinence and prolapse treatments, an elective CS costs the NHS only £75 more compared to VB. One delayed CS can lead to a multimillion pound settlement for lifetime care for a disabled child. His maths is wrong.
@ReynoldsLynda @Safe_Maternity That's the thinking which has been driving maternity policies for the last 30 years. Look where we are now.
@EmilyJBarley @spectator @Safe_Maternity I agree.
@Safe_Maternity @prof_standards Can we also take a look at the way hospitals are graded. West Middlesex maternity recently got good/outstanding but when you look at the criteria it's almost exclusively because their own staff feel looked after, not patients. Will be doing a thread on this issue over the weekend
@Safe_Maternity @Gibbo4Darlo I really couldn’t care less if you had “some sympathy” for me. Infact please don’t. I don’t need sympathy, I need you to understand that healthy mothers and babies are dying and they shouldn’t be. Would you still say the same if it was one of your relatives.
