@louisethompson: This is dedicated to all those who didn’t survive and those who lost their babies. Thank you to the 30,000 of you who have already signed our petition. This number is significant because it’s also the number of women who develop PTSD following childbirth every year. @theoclarkemp and I believe that we NEED a maternity commissioner in this country - because every woman deserves the right to a safe and dignified birth. It would be great to see our government enforce some of the 748 recommendations that have been made following various inquiries over the past decade. I have to say i’m SO RELIEVED that so many of you care about women, our birth rights, and our babies. Especially at a time when we have people like Steven Bartlett blaming women for a declining population. The time is now. I’ve been reading a brilliant book about tipping points this week and I think we are about to be the ‘push’ that nudges something major over the line. Please join me in that pursuit. This issue can’t keep getting sidelined in favour of other projects. Childbirth is the inception of life. What is more important than that. We need standardised care for all. Next steps - We would love a conversation with our health minister Wes. #ptsd #birthtrauma #birthtraumahealing #birthtraumaawareness #pnd
