I was very glad to share my story of having a #lockdownbaby with @philly_guillou for her fantastic podcast series. People may be surprised to learn that baby services are still restricted, even 2 years on when all other life has resumed normality. #whataboutus.
🎙 This week on Lockdown Babies, @AnnaCHigham describes her experience of juggling a newborn and a toddler during the first lockdown in March 2020. She also talks about the months that followed as she fought to get a doctor to see her baby in person.

With the #LockdownBabies starting school soon, this major milestone feels more poignant given the beginnings these babies had. Don't get me wrong, there was joy, but there were worries, battles & isolation & those of us who lived it will never forget. My @HughJamesLegal blog ⬇️.

Is there any greater joy in life than jumping over waves? Nice to take some time being thankful for simple pleasures.

On #EctopicPregnancyAwarenessDay, with 1 in 80 pregnancies being ectopic I'd urge everyone to make themselves aware of the symptoms as the time period from first twinges to near-fatal internal bleeding can be alarmingly quick. If something feels wrong, #ThinkEctopic.
Today is #EctopicPregnancyAwarenessDay, highlighting the approximately 1 in 80 pregnancies that are ectopic and its far-reaching impacts. Sharing your powerful voices and expressions of your journeys of ectopic pregnancy, we invite you to join us throughout and #ThinkEctopic.

Oh. My. God.
The new hypnobirthing affirmations which will be put on the walls of Royal Surrey maternity rooms. Or how the principles of science-based medicine have been reduced to five commandments. 🐷 . 1. I trust my care team, my baby is safe, I am safe.1/5

A powerful documentary from @sophmorgTV and her friends/associates/fellow campaigners including @foggy73 about the appalling and inhumane treatment of disabled passengers on flights. The day that wheelchair users can fly in their chairs cannot come soon enough. #RightsOnFlights.
As part of a @Channel4 documentary, disability advocate Sophie Morgan talks about her inspiration to launch ‘Rights on Flights’ and campaigns for airlines to be held accountable for poor treatment of disabled passengers.
