In the eighth episode of Midwifery Hour series 10, Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert, Mayes Midwifery was joined by Dr Jenny Hall, Midwifery Lecturer; Editor, Maternity and Midwifery Forum and MATFLIX and Fatimah Mohamied, Midwife and Cultural Safety Champion, London.
Historically, in all cultures, midwives have had a close connection with spirituality, and with religion. So as we look at contemporary care, do we need to reflect and be aware of our historical links? An awareness of different cultures, and of differences between beliefs, and practices is fundamental to the way the midwife can personalise care to match with the women and families personal needs. This week, we will explore some of the different beliefs and thoughts around fertility, pregnancy and birth and loss, and how these impact on the needs of women, families, and their babies, as well midwives in their planning and delivery of culturally sensitive and individualised care.
