“Peace on earth begins with birth.” Jeannine Parvati Baker

Friday 20th February at 9.30am

Monday 2nd March at 5pm

Tuesday 7th April at 9.30am

“Doulas remind us that birth is not just a medical event, but a human one where steady hands, calm voices, and unwavering presence can change everything."

Doulas hold space when things feel uncertain, listen deeply, and honour the strength already within.

Birth is not meant to be rushed or feared. It is a rite of passage. It’s meant to be witnessed, supported, respected and sacred.

We need parents, grandparents and family members who see the changes happening across UK maternity care to add their weight to this message.

Your voices are important to this campaign. Maternity care is for you, your family, your babies and grandchildren.

Whether you are currently pregnant, have birthed recently, or are simply an advocate for the next generation, your signature signifies that you demand better, and believe there is a future where midwifery is protected and funded appropriately.

​We are asking you to sign the Open Letter if you believe:

​In Autonomy: That the mother or birthing person is the ultimate decision-maker. ​

In Support: That midwives must be supported to practice true midwifery, not just obstetric nursing.

​In Transparency: That parents deserve the full truth about the risks and benefits of all interventions and help to make safe decisions.

“The course was really in-depth and brilliantly structured. Becky was an incredible listener. She made us feel so supported and validated the entire time. I started this course nervous and full of imposter syndrome. I now feel full of confidence and excited to start my doula journey.”
