The Chatty Abortion Midwife (she/her)
@thechattymidwife
UK midwife who works in abortion care. Prochoice forever. No medical advice. Kindness always. Inclusive care always. Sign the petition to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales!
Not sure this worked but it was pretty cool to see IRL
Replying to @blackberryblk22 It makes total sense in theory, but sadly they weren't able to prove this in the research and, in fact, the research showed that it was potentially causing life threatening blood loss. There are lots of #prolife "crisis centres" that will tell you it definitely works and
What to do if you take the first abortion pill (mifepristone) and then decide to continue the pregnancy.
Talking about why people have multiple abortions, and what they tell you might not be the truth. Sometimes people don't feel safe to share with you, even if you think you're close.
Replying to @train_my_dog_ there actually was some guidance released around what to do in cases of suspected illegal abortions... You can read more here https://www.rcog.org.uk/news/rcog-issues-guidance-for-healthcare-professionals-on-involving-the-police-following-abortion-and-pregnancy-loss/

Of course a human fetus is human. I've never said otherwise. However, that small human is using someone else's organs to survive and that older human needs to consent to that. I support that person's right to choose if they continue or stop.
No problem at all. Half back is what most people are. The other half is the front

Oh. Apparently, on some platforms, if the commenter deletes their comment it deletes my video.

Who remembers this trend? Definitely stand by my stance on choice.
An old video... Is it normal to have very little pain during and after your abortion?
How do you know if your missed #miscarriage or #abortion has been effective?
Sorry about the weird sound. Anti sickness meds
Replying to @user7707576261688 Midwives are there to support our patients and to help facilitate their choices where possible.

Replying to @a9383268 There isn't a specific law which says that abortion for the sex of the pregnancy is a crime, however, abortion in general is a crime in England and Wales. It's not possible to know the gender of a fetus, so that's not really relevant.
I don't think I said being #prolife is a disease. I think it's an interesting phenomenon which it might be interesting to study. I imagine there's some damage in the past of a lot of these people, particularly when they are wishing death on people who are already mothers, functioning members of soc

Replying to @a5268674 Literally can't think of any reason to judge someone for seeking support and healthcare
The abortion act 1967 definitely made it so that people had much safer access to abortion, and didn't need to go to "backstreet" abortion clinics, however now there's a worry that it could be used to further anti choice agendas. Backstreet's Back ALRIGHT!
Replying to @cycle5463 I'm absolutely saying that people's reasons for abortion really are nobody else's business. You might not think a reason is valid, but that's because you're not living that persons life. You can choose not to have an abortion, and I 100% support your choice. But your best frie

Replying to @chelseariley98 Lots of people do go on and have a successful pregnancy even after taking the first pill. There aren't any proven effective reversal treatments, but the first pill has not been shown to cause birth defects or anything like that. The main thing is that it increases your ri
