Colorectal surgeon, Carolynne Vaisey, shares the lived experiences of her patients with anal sphincter injuries- “I’m suicidal & I hate my child”, “I’m housebound”, “I can’t face having more children”. #OASI #BirthTrauma #MaternitySafety #RCOG2025

After announcing the rapid maternity investigation, Wes Streeting sat down with a few journalists. One reason some want a public inquiry, I said, was because people know there are failures. What they want is accountability & answers to how & why we got here. Here's his response

Heartening to read Wes Streeting acknowledging the suffering of mothers who have experienced severe birth injuries in this article. Streeting is surely right that this is “the conversation we need”. A conversation that must lead to answers, change and accountability 🔽

Carolynne was the highlight of #RCOG2025 day 1- shining a light on a ‘taboo’ part of #womenshealth. Why are we not made aware of these risks of vaginal birth? Why are women suffering in silence? Why are women having to fight for caesarean births? #OASI #BirthTrauma

As a member of the APPG on Birth Trauma we ask that the newly-created Maternity and Neonatal Task Force work with us all to build on the strong foundations of last year’s parliamentary #birthtraumainquiry

Alison Moore @alijanemoore also on Bluesky Wes Streeting Looking beyond deaths, how many of the Trusts ranking with ‘fewer deaths’ are leaving more children & mothers harmed for life following birth injuries?

Topics that we discuss on the show include: the Government’s approach to maternity care; lessons and recommendations from the Birth Trauma Inquiry; the work of the cross party APPG for birth trauma; campaigning to improve postnatal care and why women’s heath is often ignored in

"It is vital that maternity services are not seen as just another part of the NHS that needs improving. For there is something bigger going on – something unique that cannot simply be explained by staff shortages, low morale or a lack of funding." newstatesman.com/politics/healt…

Someone who expressed a wish for no forceps antenatally should have been counselled about caesarean at full dilation & planned caesarean *during antenatal care*. But normal birth policies preferred keeping women in ignorance & push for vaginal delivery. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
