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.
Hosted by:
Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert, Mayes Midwifery
Contribution from:
-Kate Greenstock, Midwife, Coach, Author of 'Flourish'
-Sarah Milnes, Midwifery educator, Researcher, University of Leicester
