Thank you to Dr. Maeve O'Connell @thelovelymaeve and her wonderful colleagues @hannah.dahlen and Colin Martin for your tireless work improving birth for women around the world. This paper highlights once again the need for sensitive, informed care in labor. 'We advocate for a sensitive discussion ... an awareness that how we communicate with the woman may cause birth trauma and a collective commitment to protect the emotional well-being..' #midwifery #midwife #academia #positivebirth #empoweredbirth @nationalmaternityhospital #hollesstreet
