I often wonder if having a standardised model for care for PMH, such as BFI, would decrease discrepancies and improve care and safety nationally? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m glad that @laurakyrkesmith.bsky.social is pushing for better maternal health care. Too often, mothers’ needs get neglected, especially if it’s not a first birth, as in the case of her friend. At #MothersUncovered, we help mothers at ALL stages. #matrescence www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

It's #TimeToTalk about mental health at every appointment during and after pregnancy. With 70% of expectant and new mums hiding how they're really feeling, it's so important that we normalise the conversation. The more we talk, the more we reduce the stigma surrounding perinatal mental illness.
