Soon, we will be meeting with ACC to provide feedback on the Maternal Birth Injury (MBI) scheme.

This meeting is only about the injuries covered by the scheme.

ACC (& Ministry for Business and Innovation/MBIE) are looking at a possible review of the injuries that can be accepted under the MBI scheme.

💙 This meeting will look at other injuries that are caused by the birth, that are not currently covered by the MBI scheme 💙

So, if you have had an injury because of birth which is not on the current list of approved injuries but was certainly because of birth (a GP/physio/midwife/OB has confirmed this), please let us know in the comments, via DM or via email (birthtraumaaotearoa@gmail.com) and we will take this feedback to ACC & MBIE.

We know there's other issues with some of ACC's processes (that's a kōrero for another day/meeting) but this meeting is just about the injuries that are/may be covered by the legislation (law) and how we can possibly extend the scheme to cover more Māmā/birthing parents.

Thanks so much for any feedback you have - please let us know by Friday, November 28th 💙

Today, there has been some media coverage around the use of panadol (and equivalent medications) in pregnancy and the claim that these cause neurodivergence.

First, we want to send aroha to the neurodivergent community, and their whānau, who may be distressed by this claim 💙
Please know we see you and support you, just as you are, and we fully support your needs in pregnancy, childbirth and beyond 💙

Also, and importantly, many, many sources conclude that panadol use in pregnancy is safe - one of the most recent studies included over 2million people.

If you are concerned by, or have questions around, the use of any medication during pregnancy, please talk to a trusted health care practitioner - your LMC, Dr., Plunket Nurse or Kai awhina 💙

You can also call Healthline - 0800 611 116 - to discuss your concerns 💙

Arohanui,

ETA: You are welcome to comment, however, please ensure these are kind and respectful 💙
ETA 2: We are turning off commenting now as we've only very small team able to moderate - we welcome respectful discussion and encourage respectful kōrero in other spaces 💙

We are seeking details of Maternal Birth Injury claims that have been declined by ACC.

If you have had a claim declined by ACC, as part of the (reasonably) new birthing injury scheme, please let us know - we have been getting reports of claims that should be easily covered instead being declined.

We are gathering details (without personally identifying information) to take back to ACC to work towards this getting smoothed out.

Please DM or email us with:
💙 Date of baby's birth (injury date)
💙 Date of injury registration (when the ACC claim was put through)
💙 Reasons ACC gave for the claim being declined
💙 Any other details you want to share.

You can email us at: birthtraumaotearoa@gmail.com, DM us on Facebook or Instagram 💙
