We're stirrups used during your birth? (Without having an assisted delivery, eg ventouse/forceps)

07/11/2025

Hi everyone 👋

We’ve created a short anonymous survey to gather real parent feedback about experiences of stirrup use during birth — especially where they were used *without* an assisted delivery. The aim is to help staff understand how this feels for parents and discourage non-indicated use.

Please complete it yourself if your own experience is relevant, and share it within your networks or groups where others might want to contribute. It’s completely anonymous and takes under 5 minutes. Every story helps shape better practice 💛

💜 "We were really well cared for by all the midwives during our stay after birth… we’re so thankful for all their support." – Hannah, Andrew & Olivia 💜

Stories like this highlight just how much compassionate care means to families during such a life-changing time. From support in surgery to guidance with feeding and those precious moments of rest, every act of kindness makes a difference. 🌸✨

A huge thank you to all our incredible midwives and student midwives for the dedication, empathy and care you provide every single day. 💕

Ending a breastfeeding journey can bring a mix of emotions — pride, relief, grief, and everything in between.

This , let’s remind all parents and caregivers that their feelings are valid and their mental health matters.
