Often mothers, new mothers, gmothers & carers in more rurals areas do not have opportunities to get together just to socialise, meet kindred spirits & have a moment to breathe. Help us get the word out so we can share our appreciation of them! @NottsMVP @PboroHinch_MVP @MVPLincs
A special event for pregnant women, birthing people, mothers, their partners, families and friends in the Midlands, UK. @Tasha_theSmith has as CEO of @whmwi1 put in great efforts to create free resources for families in the local community. Share widely - all are welcome.

Last week a video circulated of a woman giving birth at Nottinghill carnival . The saddest part was the fact that people took their phones out to record her with no shred of consideration for her dignity @whmwi1 @DoulaSmith @all4maternity @all4birth @MotherhoodGroup

We are honoured to have been part of this important conversation 👏🏾👏🏾🧡
Last week we were graced with a reel #blackmumblackhair by @feministnoire @ABurnett_RM & @DoulaSmith uplifting Black hair. After a series of issues around black spaces & brands on SM, @DoulaSmith shared a reflection on @Afrocenchix 'Does all hair matter'
