The Motherhood Group extends heartfelt thanks to the 450+ diverse attendees, speakers, sponsors, and supporters of our annual Black Maternal Health Conference UK. Uniting students, allies, midwives, Black mothers, doctors, charity CEOs, lawyers, MPs, and councillors to address…

Lots of concern at the #BMHCUK conference re neurodiverse black mums being heard.

One speaker said she was ‘told’ how she felt in pregnancy and couldn’t challenge this.

Also speakers talked about a lack of concern and support when experiencing #BabyLoss

Who do you see?

Black women are seen negativaly in terms of sexual activity, sexual risk, being a single mother, receiving benefits & socioeconomic status than White women.

But there are no differences on items unrelated to societal stereotypes.

So, who do you see?

Achieving Health Equity for Black Mothers. 🤰🏾

In today's Diverse Mums' Group session Leeds Perinatal Service we discussed what we think 'Good Maternity Care' should look like for people like us. 🤰🏾

'Don't treat us as a number'

' We want personalised care which is tailored to different cultures'

Great session interacting with mum's at the Barakah Play Group Leeds Grand Mosque sharing maternity experiences and what good maternity care should look like for our Diverse Communities.

'Treat as humans, not like children!'
