"There's nothing better than supporting a family to bring a new life into the world."
Members of London's midwifery community share what being a midwife means to them. 👶

Happy International Day of the Midwife! 💙
We want to thank London’s midwives, maternity support workers and student midwives for bringing life into the world and going the extra mile to care for women and birthing people across the capital.

We are hearing from Laura Rose from LGBT Mummies, sharing her experience of what it is like for a lesbian couple to go through pregnancy.
Sad to hear that even in 2023 they are still facing some discrimination and biases, 11 years into their parenthood journey #MMELdn23

Such an important question… How easy was it to access interpreting services within maternity in the below department? ⬇️
Great insights Becky @rebeccagil83

Think differently. @agnes_agyepong explains about speaking to women about their experiences and sharing about maternal medicine.
Challenge your own assumptions #MMELdn23

Speaking at #MMELdn23 Amplifying silenced voices within maternity
Trying to raise awareness on why hearing autistic voice in maternity services is so important.
I am really honoured to meet some incredible people and be invited to be involved.

Just hearing now from the amazing @katebrintworth on sadly her last day as London Region Chief Midwife.
Kate has done so much to reduce inequalities in maternity and will be missed by us all, but she is going to an absolutely brilliant job as the new CMO of England ❤️ #MMELdn23

So as we celebrate IDM with our midwifery colleagues, we will also be distributing our new Communication Cards aimed to act as an additional resource to assist those who have language barriers.
Our team are delivering these personally across the next couple of weeks

Black Maternal Health Awareness Week is a reminder that we must center the voices and experiences of Black mothers and families in work towards maternal health equity.
Let's continue to demand change and take action for a brighter, more equitable future. #BMHAWUK #fivexmore
This week is the UK’s Black Maternal Health Awareness Week hosted by us @fivexmore and a host of other organisations and individuals. Stay tuned for more information, content and events throughout the week #fivexmore #BMHAW23

So so pleased with our new communication cards for women/birthing people with limited English. These are going out to all maternity units across London.
Not a replacement for an interpreter but an additional tool to support whilst an interpreter is being sourced.

It would be great to hear where/how it is used!
