Suicide continues to be the leading cause of direct maternal death between 6 weeks and 12 months after birth, accounting for a staggering 39% of deaths in this period. More must be done to make sure we reverse the trends we’re seeing. #mbrrace #MakeAllCareCount #EveryonesBusiness

#WorldPrematurityday 40% of babies born before 28 weeks are as a result of #preeclampsia. We want to support you, educate everyone that looks after pregnant women and raise awareness of this disease so that that percentage can get lower.

Very excited to share our survey to capture further experiences of women and birthing people in London who have requested maternity care that is "outside guidance" in the last few years! We want to hear from a broad range of service users forms.gle/qrnrPmqhiAkXT3…
