20 September 2018 Jenny Clarke Spoke to Blackpool Branch of The Rotary Club of Great Britain about “What Midwives do and why midwifery matters ” kindly nominated by Karen Haydon of Edghilll University Midwifery Society ❤️ who also spoke with Jenny. . This talk was very valuable as all attending were men . Some of the men there were over 80 years old and talked about the upset and sadness they still carried around following their wives mistreatment by maternity staff in the 50s-60s. One man told how his wife had been informed after a forceps birth that she was unfit care for her newborn son , so she didn’t hold her son for over two days. Presentations like this allow people to talk about their sadness and happiness and the man who talked with Jenny told her it was a cathartic positive experience
