If you’re pregnant and worried about your baby’s movement, don't delay in attending your Maternity unit. We have protocols in place to ensure your safety and that of your unborn child. This video on fetal movement gives advice on what to look out for: socsi.in/l3GC4

Our first nearly ready to go Recharge room @BWH_NHS open 24/7. ERC meeting room 1. A safe space for staff to find support and maybe a treat or two. More information and timetables of facilitated support coming soon. Packs delivered across all our sites today 😍😍

Brilliant thread by @susannacrowe summarising what is happening in obstetric units throughout the UK. This almost exactly mirrors our experience @NottmMaternity @Gemma_obs @MalinGemma @sharondicko @wolfson184

10 days ago we introduced the concept of a “wobble room” where staff could go for a few mins to share worries, say it out loud, have a little cry/shout/scream or just sit quietly
They’ve totally owned this and allocate a clinic room each day.
Where’s your wobble room?

We would like to wish a happy #MothersDay to all the incredible women who have left their families behind today to go and care for other people across the NHS
Please RT for all of them

Thank you Natalie and everyone putting themselves at risk on the frontline of our NHS. Sadly this will get worse. Much worse. So please help the NHS, Protect your family, Protect your friends by staying at home. This is not a rehearsal.
This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London.
I feel broken - and we are only at the start. I am begging people, please please do social distancing and self isolation #covid19
And especially for women with underlying health conditions who need careful pre regbancy counselling at the best of times and now potentially at greater risk?
Matt, any thoughts as to whether there should be a central recommendation to advise against conceiving a pregnancy until we are through the worst of this pandemic? We presumably do not know risks of 1st trimester exposure yet? Increased miscarriage risk if very unwell though

You have given and do give so much to your work family and we love you for it ( but from a safe distance of course!). Thank you. Glad you have your kids back home.
Boys both home from Uni so all kids back under one roof. I’ve seen them. I’ve held them. I’ve slept. Now feel I have a bit more to give my work family @BWH_NHS . For me, family and rest so important for my own resilience. Remember to be kind to yourselves too
