The Chatty Abortion Midwife (she/her)

Replying to @user2610534393245 I've definitely found my calling. I used to flit around job to job all the time, but I'm just where I'm meant to be! I don't get the Sunday scaries, I'm excited to go to work! So weird.

Replying to @emd652 It hopefully shouldn't stop you from having an abortion again. Unless you were diagnosed with some kind of condition at the time which would make you more prone to a bleed

Happy #pride month, besties!

Can you drink alcohol after your treatment and if so, when?

I don't have the power sadly

I absolutely advocate for sex education in schools. It's also why I set up this account, there's a huge amount of misinformation online around sexual health and I want to talk about the truth

Guess what, I believe that women are people, I also respect and care for my patients so will call them what they ask to be called

I don't think I need to check YouTube for prolife propaganda, but thanks!

Replying to @fannyf.art Probably not really, but there are people who listen occasionally

Replying to @swgssr Oh bless your heart

Yes, absolutely abortion is not evil. But restricting it is

Replying to @swgssr Abortion is healthcare! Can't be bothered to argue about the words we use. Anyhoo, I believe there should be no laws around abortion, and it should be between a patient and their Dr. The end.

100% agree. Imagine giving choice to your patients! Imagine!

Replying to @user6919702446503 I'll won't argue about words, but I'll always argue for choice

100% agree. Imagine giving choice to your patients! Imagine!

Replying to @princelakay1 The tablets can work later in pregnancy, but it would need to be under medical supervision and in a hospital as it would not be appropriate at home

Replying to @user6919702446503 Ahhh thank you for your input, user plus numbers! I really remind myself of my favourite cousin here, when we were kids we used to play lots of games where we tried to be annoying to each other. Hi nerms, if you're watching! Xx

#onthisday still relevant today. Pregnancy tests after ending your pregnancy

Let's talk about discharge after a pregnancy loss or abortion!

Is it safe to go on holiday in the weeks following your abortion or miscarriage?

Replying to @frostyblueberry_ I'm on your side. I believe that you may see more than what was in that image

#onthisday discussing what you might see during your abortion

#onthisday donating to charities

Replying to @jorja.joycelyn Yessssss! Absolutely agree! We're here to help!

Replying to @mrsmetcalfexo It is almost unheard of to pass away as a direct result of a safe and legal aborshn in the UK. The main reasons are things like mental health, pre existing (severe) heart conditions, or domestic abuse

Replying to @kashleigh01 I would advise them about what the evidence shows us. Which so far has not seen a link. I would also explain that it would not be ethical to complete a blind randomised study where we gave some people mife. So we can only look at the fairly rare cases where patients have d

#onthisday what happens if your abortion medications don't work?

#onthisday a year later and we were successful in changing the law around abortion, me and Nicola have met and will be meeting again in June. Life is scary at the moment but there are some good things happening.

Vote! Purse please vote! #vote #timmymallet #evil

Make sure you vote to protect our rights tomorrow. Remember that there are some groups who seek to reduce our rights to reproductive health (Lowe, Farage, Krugar, Orr).

Happy #internationaldayofmidwives. The 5th of May is IDM and I want to acknowledge all my absolute besties. I'm so so thankful I ignored the doubters and abandoned a well paid job to become a midwife. Changed my life and I'm very thankful to know all my beautiful colleagues.

Replying to @windfisttv Abortion is totally healthcare! And I'm so chuffed to provide support to people having abortions.

@burgersandpillsfilm I've added their kickstarter to my bio, please check it out and share!

Replying to @jessie.pants Totally agree, plan c is brilliant, and it's great that it's an option but you need more access. I feel like the USA should be a lesson to us all about how electing people based on hate of others is a dangerous path.

Replying to @tmesis_petrichor_cadence I agree. Nobody really notices if I talk about people, even if it's on the context of them being pregnant. It's just such a shame when the message I'm giving gets lost (please excuse my children having an actual riot in the background). And I will always be an a

I am absolutely inspired by a very fun evening. I can't quite believe that the changes to the abortion law have actually happened and that people won't be prosecuted for ending their own pregnancies any more. AND that people who have previously been investigated or prosecuted are being pardoned! I'm

Replying to @miss.shrestha867 After a consultation if you are having a medication abortion, they can sometimes send them within a couple of days. If you are having surgery it might be a little longer that you'll have to wait for an appointment, but they will do their best to do it all ASAP for you

Today is a magical day in history! The change to the law has reached royal assent which means that it is now in law, and people won't be prosecuted for ending their own pregnancies, and those previously investigated will be pardoned! This is an exciting step forward but it is not full decriminalisat

Replying to @courtneyalexx I bet you're stronger than you think, if you are worried about the pain, make sure you get good pain relief, also c sections really bloody hurt!

Replying to @alwils30 the nausea after a pregnancy should go away within a few days, sore breasts and being tired take a little longer, maybe just over a week

Replying to @amylouisexo7 yes misoprostol can give you a fever. It can also make you feel quite sick, give you d&v, sometimes a headache, and obviously cramping and bleeding. Please call your provider of it doesn't get better.

#onthisday a year later and I'm very close to 20000 followers on Tiktok! Time flies.

We are able to access abortion legally via the abortion act, however the default is that it is a crime, which means if you're outside of the act you could get into trouble

Replying to @e0216574 If you find that you are pregnant and you're not sure what to do... Call an abortion provider, they will tell you who you can book with You don't need to tell your parents, though we would encourage you to if possible, but we most likely would want you to have someone over 18 t

How to use misoprostol correctly.

Replying to @megan_roseh Irritating bleeding after miscarriage and an implant could be caused by a couple of things, it could be a little bit of retained tissue which will hopefully resolve on its own, but give your provider a call for them too check. It could also be related to the implant.

Replying to @tiannylugo6 The standard dose is 4 tablets (800mcg), followed a few hours later by 2 if needed (400mcg),

Replying to @beth.rogers96 They normally arrive a couple of days later

Replying to @user009836722 What to do if your bleeding is lighter than expected after your abortion. 1. If you were scanned before your abortion - keep an eye on your pregnancy symptoms which should go away fairly soon. 2. If you were not scanned, be aware of the signs of ectopic pregnancy and call

Replying to @martinwheat Pain during abortion or miscarriage can be variable. Really, it's hard to tell who will find it very painful, and who will really struggle, the main thing is to take good pain relief and new somewhere comfortable, ideally with a nice support person to help you and bring you

Replying to @lynda12321 It's wild but there are some very old laws still in use.

Replying to @tiktokkkkuser841 No it wouldn't automatically mean you'd need a scan. There might be other reasons you might need one, but abortion 14 months ago isn't one. X

Abortion is healthcare

Replying to @ellewilsx Is really interesting, there are busy times in maternity too, usually around September. For us, it tends to be January, February, and September and October

Replying to @tiktokkkkuser841 They should ask before they tell you gp.

We need to make sure our rights are protected! People don't understand how precarious things are around abortion here.

Replying to @user257889752 It's confusing, I just asked someone, basically you are covered by a few providers, and BPAS are saying that there isn't an appropriate appointment within their contracted time frame

We need to make sure our rights are protected! People don't understand how precarious things are around abortion here.

#onthisday reversal treatment

Replying to @progressivesmile If you are in the uk, you don't need a referral from a Dr, you can just call an abortion provider directly

Replying to @whitneymariaa You definitely do not need to have a period before you ovulate. So, if you don't want to be pregnant it's definitely a good idea to always use contraception. And your fertility isn't changed for the better or worse in general after a miscarriage or abortion

Replying to @maitetsita There is a small chance you could become pregnant if you have secs 6 days after a miscarriage or abortion

#stitch with @nf857 I'm here to educate around reproductive health, pregnancy, abortion, contraception. There are no silly questions, I will never ever judge and I'm here to break things down for anyone who needs it. X

#onthisday how to use miso. You can use them vaginally, under your tongue or between your cheek and gums.

Replying to @mford71 Such a good question! Probably it would be OK, but it depends on the provider, plus it must have the right measurements etc. Give your provider a call if you're not sure.

Yes, it's really wild, some of the articles are deliberately misleading, and dangerous.

Replying to @a821473 We do our very best to make sure that if someone wants or needs support, we will provide it

Replying to @totallynotbalmy2 That's a really interesting point. Thank you for your engagement. Religion has no place in medicine.

Replying to @titsuppetetong It's strange that there are people who think the only reason people aren't having late abortions is because of the law. It's an assumption that women and pregnant people are flippant about their own health and will just throw caution to the wind and do something unsafe ju

Replying to @chloe_c_84 I agree! So frustrating, but really really sadly, not surprising.

Replying to @gandg46 @DoctorsForChoiceUK have some training packages which are amazing! I would highly recommend

Replying to @richardb19 I am so flattered that you think I have that much influence! I wish I did! I'd make it so ending your own pregnancies was a human right, for all of us. Even those who think they will never need or want to have one. Plus I'd win the lottery and donate money to abortion provide

I hope you are happy to be waking up to some amazing news. - won on not prosecuting people for ending their own pregnancies - 185-148 - won on protecting telemedicine 191-119 - won on pardoning hundreds of years of women criminalised by abortion law 180-58 - won on not creating a new offence of obta

We blooming well did it. Thank you thank you thank you

Replying to @ellieneal_17 I can't make links work properly but you can watch here... https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/1c729f4b-e77f-4c68-b187-5e8adb9b4858

I've had to switch off the house of lords debate as it was making me a tiny bit cross

Replying to @c0ffeeunderthestars They are still debating. I suspect it will go on late into the night. I will keep you updated!

A momentous day in history today. Please click the link tree on my bio and email a random Lord!

When I am speaking to individuals, I'd use their preferred terms. So if I have a 12 year old who is pregnant, I'd ask them what they'd like me to call them. When I'm educating a group about pregnancy, and abortion, I use umbrella terms to capture everyone I care for. That's not at all designed to er

Please can you go to my linktree and sign the petition in my bio? It's best the top. Currently the House of Lords have the power to block changes to laws which MPs have already agreed should happen (and the public largely agree with). This is not democratic. Please please let's try and get our over

#onthisday

A little tip on how to email a random Lord from the house of lords (or several), to ask them to back our clause.

#onthisday can't believe I'm still having this conversation

Police training around abortion

Why aren't we trying to prevent pregnancy, instead of offering abortion?
