Some may have noticed the name change in the past week.
Our long time Colleague and founding member of Rural Delivery Midwives, Sharon Lindley has begun her well earned retirement, and so with respect we are retiring the name of her baby also.
We will miss you Sharon, and your ability to know the answer to any curly question!
All the best with your future plans x

If you're confused about whether it's safe to take paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen or Tylenol) in pregnancy, you're not alone.

Recent headlines and conflicting information have left many expectant mums wondering what to do when they're dealing with pain, headaches, or fever.

And midwives and birth workers are also struggling to know what to say.

Thats why I've written a blog post on paracetamol in pregnancy and birth. I explain the issues and link to evidence-based resources so that you can make the decisions that are right for you.
