The Lost Mothers project: Why We Brought This Research to the Stage | East of England Midwifery Research Network Midwife and EoE Midwifery Research Network member Dr Laura Abbott on her research with pregnant women and mothers in prisons and bringing their stories to life with Clean Break theatre company.

Our blog shared by The East of England Midwifery Research Network explains why it was so important to bring @lostmothers.bsky.social project to the stage @cleanbrk.bsky.social @birthcompanions.bsky.social @arceastofengland.bsky.social @uniofherts.bsky.social @rcm.org.uk #scenesfromlostmothers

A very distressing C4 report tonight on pregnant women prisoners being handcuffed during childbirth, despite it being against MoJ policy. Those policies aren’t worth the paper they’re written on — the only way to keep pregnant women safe is to stop sending them to prison.

Thank you so much @20storieshigh.bsky.social for the invite and the incredibly warm welcome. Your approach personified care and activism and has given me the uplift I needed for 2025! Onwards and upwards!
