Shining a little light on 'out-of-guidance' care. From the APPG report on Birth Trauma - #respect for birth choices, #listening to birthing people, providing #informedconsent were all key findings. All applicable to non-normative choices.

but what about the doctors who facilitate these discussions? Their voices are missing. Hearing them could add a valuable perspective. Please share with your networks and contact for more information and to take part.

More women & birthing people make 'out-of-guidance' choices: decisions which don't fit usual pathways. My project explores how obstetricians experience facilitation of these OOG care discussions. Current research mainly focuses on birthing people and midwives' experiences...

Birth trauma is increasing in the UK and it's not just about the physicalities of birth. Let's look at the wider picture about how healthcare professionals provide informed, personalised, and compassionate care. What happens when care choices don't fit into the guidance boxes?

Bit of light reading for my #masters. Let's not control birthing bodies. Good idea. #midwife #research

Women fear childbirth because - although it can be joyful, safe and empowering - it can also be traumatic, dangerous and violent. And I say that as a midwife and die-hard birth nerd.
