More than half of mothers have experienced physical or psychological birth trauma leading them less likely to have more children because of their experience of maternity care. That's according to a study by Mumsnet instigated by Conservative MP Theo Clarke. She has founded an all-party parliamentary group on birth trauma to advocate for change following her own harrowing experience during childbirth, where she faced a third-degree tear and emergency surgery.In this episode I sit down with a courageous couple, Angelisa and Veneline Nikolov, who openly share their emotional journey through birth trauma. We also engage in a compelling discussion with Kim Thomas from the Birth Trauma Association,  and I share my own experiences of birth trauma including a complication called shoulder dystocia which left me and my newborn with serious injuries.We delve into the profound impact of childbirth trauma on women's mental health, exploring the flashbacks, physical and mental injuries, guilt, and isolation that can follow. Angelisa and Veneline's candid stories emphasize the critical need for empathy and support for those who have experienced birth trauma.We talk about the attitude of health care workers and our feeling of failure after our traumatic births -and what can be done to help people who suffer from birth trauma and how the system can be improved.Tune in as we explore these crucial issues and call for a more compassionate approach to childbirth and improved maternity care for all women.#BirthTrauma#MaternityCare#EmpathyInHealthcare#MentalHealth#SupportForMothers#ChildbirthJourney#AdvocacyForChange#BirthTraumaAwareness#CompassionateCare#MaternalMentalHealth#ParentingJourney#MotherhoodMatters#NewParents#FamilySupport#WomenEmpowerment#HealthcareAdvocacy#BirthStories#EmpoweringMothers#MaternalSupport#MaternityRights#MaternalWellbeing#HealthcareReform#MaternityExperience#SharingStories#AwarenessMattershttps://www.angelawalkerreports.com/

Rosie Jones

The inclusion of a particular word in the title of the documentary has caused controversy. For many, it is an extremely offensive term and some contributors have made it publicly known and have withdrawn their contribution from the programme. Rosie talks to Nuala McGovern about the project.A growing trend in the wedding industry is to add wax seal to your invites. If you scroll through any wedding stationary images on social media, you’ll see people using little round wax seals in all sorts of colours and designs. Nuala asks Diane Wisdom, co-founder of Heirloom Seals about the trend. Plus, Dr Elizabeth New from Aberystwyth University, Reader in Medieval History and Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellow, explains what we can learn about medieval women from historical wax stamps.Theo Clarke, the Conservative MP for Stafford, gave birth last August to a daughter.  She had a 40-hour labour  and a third-degree tear. She is now working closely with the Birth Trauma Association and she recently met with 11 other mums in parliament who have suffered horrendous experiences giving birth.  To help women avoid these experiences, she is setting up an All-party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on birth trauma which launches tomorrow, 12th July.  As the holiday season begins we talk to Jane Dowden and Lucy Cavendish about travelling on planes with small children, how to deal with tantrums and disgruntled fellow passengers.And we hear from one woman who says a new approach to treating anorexia nervosa has saved her life. as well as from Conservative MP Danny Kruger who says current provision is inadequate and who says he is hopeful having heard the results that some of his constituents and their families are telling him about this new approach.Presenter: Nuala McGovernProducer: Lisa JenkinsonStudio Manager: Bob Nettles
