Today marks the start of #BabyLossAwarenessWeek. Two years ago, I spoke to the inspirational Ali Norell for The Secret Life Of Mothers podcast who sadly lost her baby daughter suddenly at 4 months, which is every parent’s darkest nightmare. #secretlifeofmothers #podcast

This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek we are delighted to launch #TheMAMSProject, a groundbreaking research study that aims to develop real, practical solutions for the most common #breastfeeding problems so that all women can breastfeed for as long as they choose feeduk.org/themamsproject

Thank you to ABC magazine for publishing my piece about the importance of #matrescence for mothers and their families. At @mothersuncovered.bsky.social we know how helpful an understanding of matrescence is for #mothers’ wellbeing. ABC is a brilliant free resource for families in #Brighton & Sussex

Great to meet @laurakyrkesmith.bsky.social to discuss the work of @mothersuncovered.bsky.social and the work that needs to be done to support #mothers and fathers/partners and their families. It’s critical to recognise the importance of #matrescence and of #peersupport in improving mental health.

‘How was the birth of your baby…?’ Many #mothers struggle with the answer to that question. They feel grateful to have their #baby, but the memories of the birth often keep coming back. They might be angry, or sad, or guilty or ashamed that they did something wrong, didn’t try hard enough.

"There has been progress with specialist services, but, tragically, women are still dying." Karen Middleton, Head of Campaigns and Policy at the MMHA Catch up on this morning's BBC Breakfast feature on #MaternalMentalHealth (from 3:17:00): www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... @laurakyrkesmith.bsky.social

I can’t help but feel like so many of us as mothers were set up for failure because of generational trauma, horrifying world events, economic hardship, and chronic toxic stress in general. We were thrown in the deep end of the pool with no floatation device. /3

I’m glad that @laurakyrkesmith.bsky.social is pushing for better maternal health care. Too often, mothers’ needs get neglected, especially if it’s not a first birth, as in the case of her friend. At #MothersUncovered, we help mothers at ALL stages. #matrescence www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Delighted to share with you this powerful podcast for #mothersuncovered Sam is an inspirational powerhouse - she manages a thriving service in Blackpool, where she draws on her lived experience to support those affected by suicide. open.spotify.com/episode/06j39j…open.spotify.com/episode/06j3...Qw

For years as director of @mothersuncovered.bsky.social, I’ve pointed out the correlation between parental mental health & impact on children, but financial investment is never made. This piece doesn’t state it: it starts with #Mothers, they need postnatal support. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

A piece I wrote a few years back about Christmas strain, especially for mothers maggiegordon-walker.com/2019/12/01/m...

Wishing you all a happy festive period 🎄 from all of us at #MothersUncovered - there’s a lot of pressure and frantic activity to do everything for everyone - and a lot of it falls on #mothers’ shoulders. Take a breath, hold loved ones close, see you in 2025…

‘Woe betide the fool who gets in a busy parent’s (especially, but not limited to, a parent of an under-5) way…. In the run-up to Christmas…. For they verily will feel that parent’s Christmas Wrath.’ 🤶🎄 Modern-day proverb….

At #MothersUncovered we see the marks of inadequate care in the #mothers we work with. Most have experienced birth trauma, due to an overwhelmed health service & are isolated, lonely & extremely anxious. They are the walking wounded & we all suffer because traumatised mothers = traumatised children.

What a fantastic night at the #SocEntAwards24! An immense honour to win the Women’s Champion Award - thank you! @socialenterpriseuk.bsky.social

Hello Donna, @dockendenltd.bsky.social The work you do is so essential. Our founder @maggiegordonwalker.bsky.social advocates for better maternal care, most recently on #BBCRadio5, where she referenced your Review youtu.be/39dh05CFWfM?...

For many mothers, giving birth is more than a physical act - it’s an emotional and spiritual journey, leaving a lasting imprint of pride, joy, happiness and sometimes even fear or sorrow. These memories become part of who we are. #Matrescence #MothersUncovered #MotherhoodJourney #HonestMotherhood

"The war on abortion is a war on mothers. It is a war that implicates not only matters of birth and of natality, but also the very terms and conditions of our collective existence."—Gil Anidjar https://buff.ly/3Yvmnle #InformYourVote #Mothers #Motherhood #Abortion #WomensRights #Election2024

#Australia 1920s: “Male concern at the falling #BirthRate made #politicians more willing to pay for #HealthServices for #mothers & #babies.” 1940s: One woman wrote: “You men in easy chairs say ‘#PopulateOrPerish’. Well. I have populated and I have perished — with no blankets.” #DrDemography
