In the tenth episode of Midwifery Hour series 10, Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert, Mayes Midwifery was joined by Kate Greenstock, Midwife, Coach, Author of ‘Flourish’, and Sarah Milnes, Midwifery educator, Researcher, University of Leicester
This session explores the under-researched phenomenon of midwives/student midwives themselves giving birth (and people who have given birth becoming midwives), how positive or negative experiences may inform future practice, and/or increase vulnerability to repeat trauma exposure.
Kate Greenstock (practising midwife and author of Flourish:
A Practical and Emotional Guidebook to Thriving in Midwifery) and Sarah Milnes (midwifery educator and researcher) will explore questions around:
– Improving strategies in midwifery education to prepare those who are already parents for clinical practice
– Trauma-aware structures and support for return to work after maternity leave
– How to support midwives/student midwives who are preparing to give birth/feed a baby with the complexities of previous trauma exposure, and multiple identities.
