    new book-  Pregnancy and New Motherhood in Prison t.ly/t1RC0


    Can you imagine the anxiety of being pregnant while incarcerated, navigating a system that wasn't designed with your unique needs in mind? Welcome to a heart-stirring episode of Thru the Pinard, where we shine a spotlight on the complex world of midwifery practice for pregnant women in prisons. We're fortunate to have the formidable Pregnancy in Prison Partnership International (PIPPI) at our table – a collective of dedicated experts who've turned this overlooked aspect of maternity care into their mission.

    Together, we dissect the complicated dynamics of maternal incarceration, focusing on alarming rates of imprisonment for indigenous and black women. We pull back the curtain on the harsh realities within correctional facilities, from the separation of mothers and newborns to the woefully inadequate support offered to mothers upon their release. And amidst these stark truths, there are glimmers of hope. We talk about the recently passed Healthy Start Act in Minnesota, a promising step towards improving incarcerated maternal and baby care.

    Our conversation takes us through troubled waters and towards potential solutions. We tackle the implications of monumental policies like the overturning of Roe v Wade and the criminalization of substance use during pregnancy. We echo our collective outrage at the power imbalances, the lack of autonomy for these women, and the insufficient support structures. Yet, despite these daunting challenges, we believe in the power of unity and collaboration. We invite you to join us in this vital journey to mend a broken system, to fight for better healthcare, and to stand up for the rights of incarcerated mothers and their babies.

    Are you ready to illuminate the path of research in the world of midwifery? Join us for an enlightening session with Jude Field and Jenny Cunningham, esteemed midwives and research advisors from the Royal College of Midwives (RCM). Together, we shed light on the RCM's phenomenal efforts to uplift midwifery research and practice. Learn about their recently unveiled treasure-trove, a repository of midwifery PhD theses, and an impending project that aims to identify key research areas in midwifery, offering insights from clinical work, education, and global perspectives. 

    We  highlight the essence of teamwork and consensus in determining research priorities. This discussion underscores the necessity of including midwives, student midwives, maternity support workers, and service user organizations in the process, creating a fertile environment for shared learning. 

    Lastly, we spotlight the crucial role of research in midwifery with Helena, a third year student midwife. Helena delves into her dissertation on factors contributing to women's psychological birth trauma, emphasizing the impact of care provider interaction. This conversation reinforces the critical role of research and the need for more midwives in education and research roles. Join us in this enlightening journey. The conversation is far from over, so feel free to reach out to the RCM's research email for an extended discussion. The world of midwifery awaits your curiosity and contribution.
