Every woman deserves to feel heard, ask questions and speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
That’s why our book, "Your Pregnancy Journey", includes information about Martha’s Rule, helping women and families know where to turn when they’re worried.

Took a baby to hospital. Something was v wrong. Fought all day for a dr even to look at her. They did, said “babies do weird stuff” and sent us home, against my wishes and instinct.

“Weird stuff” was clusters of seizures. A “catastrophic” form of epilepsy.

#MarthasRule will save many lives.

Hey, whatever your name is, Health Secretary.
My understanding was that when #MarthasRule was introduced it WAS across the whole of the #NHS , which would have included #Maternity services. #c4news
