Calling all service users and partners! We would like to add to the Stories page on our Maternity Matters Dorset website. If you would like to share your story on any maternity-related topic, please send us your story and a photo via facebook message or email us at maternityvoicesdorset@gmail.comYou can find the current Stories page below - perhaps you'd like to talk about your experience of giving birth in a midwife-led unit, your experience of induction or caesarean, of SCBU or NICU, of breastfeeding or pumping, of being same-sex parents, of fertility treatment, of having twins or more... whatever your story is, we want to share your voices and help to reassure anyone who's expecting a baby that they are not alone. Although we may not be able to add them all, we will add as many as we can and hope this will offer lots of reassurance to anyone going through something similar in future. https://maternitymattersdorset.nhs.uk/support/stories/ ...
