You can have illegal abortion clinics, but you can't come up with illegal care clinics? What's wrong here. We have midwives! For centuries women assisted women in birth! Now it is a male thing and they don't know how to act! Having given birth myself, I would and could assist any woman drawing from experience. I am sure that the sepsis rate would go down!

Missy B.<p>Gutted <a href="https://home.social/tags/RCM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RCM</span></a> didn’t get the min 50% turnout for industrial action -which was because of the equally important postal strikes. out of those that did get returned in time, 9 out of every 10 voted for industrial action. <a href="https://home.social/tags/midwives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>midwives</span></a> stand with <a href="https://home.social/tags/Nurses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nurses</span></a> <a href="https://home.social/tags/rail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rail</span></a> workers and <a href="https://home.social/tags/postal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postal</span></a> workers. The RCM is apparently looking into what can be done. I’m travelling today, I know the travel will be awful -but I support the strikes. So I don’t care how bad it is. Workers are more important than my inconvenience.</p>
Jilly<p>We were again really lucky - we got pregnant quickly, had a very smooth pregnancy, and a labour with minimal interventions and easy recovery. I want to highlight here that the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/MaternityServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaternityServices</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/midwives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>midwives</span></a> we dealt with in <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/NHSLothian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NHSLothian</span></a> were superb. Couldn't fault them, though they were clearly overworked and underfunded. This is another representation of my privilege I know, in that I am very capable of navigating NHS systems, but it deserves to be said they were wonderful</p>
