I just supported a birth yesterday.
2 support people were permitted.

Yet other public hospitals, with the exact same set up as this one, did not allow this.

The disparity is confusing and disappointing. This feeling of ‘luck of the draw’ when not all birthing people can choose their place of birth, isn’t acceptable.

Yes, restrictions have eased again today, allowing ‘4 visitors per day’. But we have to see how each hospital interprets this.

Future lockdowns are imminent.
But the lack of response from the McGowan government to hundreds of emails, thousands of social media tags, numerous media stories and gathering by invitation of the Liberals, on the steps of Parliament, means we are not safe from unbalanced restrictions.

What was previously imposed, cannot be imposed again.

Women can’t be expected to feel safe when forced to choose between the support they know they need. For those who would only have one person, that’s great, but please recognise you got to choose that.

Women can’t be expected to watch their partner leave them at the hospital doors, when they’re admitted but aren’t in ‘active’ labour.

Women can’t be expected to recover on the ward alone, completely isolated and denied of even one visitor for days.

Women can’t be expected to walk out the hospital doors alone.

Women can’t be expected to learn scary, heartbreaking news about the health of their baby, alone at scans or appointments.

Nor should they constantly face the overwhelming amount of stress that comes with knowing their support options could be stripped away in a moment.

This is what we’re advocating for...

For a consistent set of rules across all hospitals.

For restrictions during lockdown and post lockdown periods to take heavily into consideration the undeniable risk of mental health issues (like PND, PNA and PTSD) as a direct result of birthing people being stripped of their choice of support.

For a ‘steering committee’ made up of experts from midwifery, obstetrics, mental health, infectious disease and consumers, to regularly reevaluate restrictions and ensure both physical AND mental health are equally prioritised.

We’ve been heard! 📣

And now we have the chance to be really listened to!

The Shadow Health Minister, Libby Mettam, is calling a press conference at Parliament House on Thursday 6th May at 11am.

But, for this to work, we need YOU there.
We also encourage bringing partners too, because we know it’s not just the birthers affected, and this will be an epic opportunity to present this.

You will not have to speak if you don’t want to. 💛 But your presence is so needed.

We did it guys! We got it to Parliament.
But it’s not over yet.

Who’s coming? 💪🏻

WE NEED YOU 👊

We’ve heard rumblings the Make It Make Sense campaign has started landing on political ears, but they aren’t ready to listen. So, we’ll just make it louder so they can hear. 🔈

We have multiple media outlets telling us that they are ready to listen and one thing that they are asking for are STORIES.

We have received hundreds of messages and comments and we have them all saved.
✨ But we really need more detail. ✨

If you or your partner have given birth during Covid and are willing to share your story, can you please EMAIL ME. The email link is in my bio.

We need to know:
The hospital
The date of your birth
As well as the restrictions you faced and how it affected your birthing experience.
Your experience matters - and in the interest of helping make the cut through it needs, please keep it concise.

If you are willing to be interviewed, please also include your phone number or email address at the end of your email.

Please tag friends and family. And please SHARE this post far and wide.

We have momentum and it is all because of you. 💪🏻

Thank you!

💛 @jessie.thebrightbirthco & @alignedbylauren and the families birthing in Perth!

They’ve ignored the HUGE support this campaign has received.

So, now we do something they can’t ignore.

And that is when we, the citizens they represent, email the Premier and Ministers directly.

This is how we demonstrate this is not just an issue for a couple people, this is a matter of public interest!

SWIPE 👉🏻 for instructions and details on the email template you can use.

The email addresses are also included for you to copy and paste.

If you choose to use your own words, detailing your experience and how these restrictions have impacted you, please clearly explain what happened, how it happened and the results you’re left with.

We also ask you continue to represent this campaign with kind and courteous (yet assertive!) words.

We will be heard and it’s only gonna get louder.

Attn. Hon @mark_mcgowan_mp

Dear Premier,

Over the last twelve months, the people of Western Australia have demonstrated resilience and adaptability to frequent change. For the most part, decisions have seemed reasonable.

But there is one group of people who have been disregarded in policy and decision making.

One group of people who are already vulnerable.

One group of people who until now, have accepted what they have been offered as the best that could be offered.

But enough is enough.

We have heard you preach #commonsense over and over again.

Mark McGowan, make it make sense.

People giving birth are permitted ONE support person. And in public hospitals, that person had to leave after the birth, NOT permitted to return.

We have empty birthing wards.

We have vulnerable people, who have given birth, alone in these wards. In some cases, they have experienced trauma. In some cases, they are struggling with the adjustment of having a new baby, sometimes experiencing the onset of PND and other mental illnesses. All compounded by being forcibly isolated from their support networks.

And the amazing thing is, most risks can be managed and mitigated.

We are asking you to consider our requests. To listen and to truly hear us. This is your opportunity to ensure support for new parents. To prioritise mental health.

Thank you for reading. And please know, we will not stop until we are heard.
