good news for Romani women in the UK!
"
The network can support Gypsy Roma and Traveller Women to
- Get help registering with a GP
- Get help to arrange a GP appointment
- Access to Midwives 
- Advise on getting the right support
"This is a community led group" Dee, told Travellers Times "I think eventually it will be a positive move forward in terms of women’s health - but along the way we will be able to help men’s health and children too. For now, it’s all about building trust and getting those much-needed appointments and conversations going” at our first meeting in October- one woman left saying she “felt heard” after sharing her lived experience. Others had appointments booked for them that were long overdue."
In the UK, Romani women are more vulnerable to stillbirths and miscarriages, have higher maternal death rates during pregnancy and after childbirth, and are 20x more likely to experience the death of their newborn child. Reasons for that are a lack of access to proper maternal care, a lack of awareness and education about maternal care, as well as poverty and poor environmental conditions. As of 2021-2022, the Romani life expectancy in the UK was of 50 years old for both men and women (x), about 30 years shorter than that of the general British population (x).

Highlights of the internship - Week 18:
• The last two days of paediatrics — FINALLY. And the start of internal medicine.
• When I said goodbye to the small surgical procedures room’s staff, they were like, “oh nooo. But we were so used to seeing you. We can gather signatures for you to keep you here ahaha.” 🥹🥹
• Going to miss only ob/gyn part of this hospital.
• At general medicine, I started in endocrinology clinic. We were supposed to get there 30 minutes earlier than the doctor and start admitting the patients, taking their history and getting them ready for the doctor. When she comes, we start admitting them together. This will be the sum of my two weeks here.
• I had the night shift of the first day. I don’t like the first day night shifts!! Nothing requiring an intern really happened so it was calm, at least.
• I got a text from my friend about our gynaecologic oncology attending. He told the nurses she and I are his favourites and firsts, the ob/gyn doctors of the future 🥹🥹🥹 stoppp 🥹🥹🥹

Fuck the ob/gyn of one of my friend who want to rush her to a dangerous operation to have her lose weight when she could do it with the help of a nutritionist. My friend want a kid and her ob/gyn doesn't want to help her if she doesn't undergo the operation.
Medical fatphobia needs to be stopped.

Why sometimes it is important to have FEMALE gynaecologists
When we talk about wanting female gynaecologists or obstetricians, we often talk about hypothetic things, so I thought I'd share my real, recent experience. I'm a grown up adult and yet I'd never gone to the gynaecologist before until recently. It all started last year, when my periods got odd. I won't go into details, but you know when your instinct urges you to get checked because you know in your gut that something is off? And you know it sounds insane if you say it out loud, and people don't believe you, but you know. So I contacted a GP, managed to convince him to take me seriously, and I got a referral for a gynaecologist. A year later, I was finally called for my appointment.
When I got my paper with my appointment, I was surprised to learn that the examination I was booked for was far more and more invasive / intense than I had thought it would be, so I got very anxious, because I've heard from friends who had terrible experiences at the gyn and I was worried sick. Will it hurt? Will they be too harsh? Will I bleed? Will I be really uncomfortable? Then I had worse concerns: will I have a dishonourable doctor/nurse who takes advantage of me? So I decided the best way to ease my concerns was to ensure that no males were in the room. A woman wouldn't rape me, a woman wouldn't touch me without knowledge of what it feels like, a woman would be able to be empathetic with me, put herself in my shoes, and try and help me. A woman wouldn't get turned on. A woman will also have had, at some point, her first intense examination and will understand my worries and anxiety. Men? They'll lack empathy, they'll be too brusque, they might sexually abuse me, they might hurt me simply because they don't know how delicate you need to be, or mansplain, or discard my concerns, or all of the above.
It was important for my doctor to be a woman.
Unfortunately, we live in the day and age where if you call your doctor, hospital or surgery in the NHS to try and ensure your doctor is a woman, sometimes you'll be met with the wrong person who will think you're transphobic and be really rude and disrespectful and refuse to help. It took me 2 days on the phone, calling a variety of hospitals, hospital departments and NHS numbers, until I was able to find a sweet lady who was happy to ensure my doctor was female and to my surprise, she didn't even ask me to explain why it was important to me.
In the end, my appointment went just fine. I had a young, understanding, caring, gentle and lovely female doctor who was also POC, so she actually gave me a lot of insight. I arrived saying "I'm so sorry but I've never done this before and i'm so anxious" and the whole time she was listening to me, comforting me, calming me, explaining me exactly what she was doing bit by bit, being patient, empathetic... She actually told me I'd done well coming and gotten checked and explained how important it was, even if it didn't seem like a big deal or even if I wasn't sexually active at the time. Unfortunately I was right and the doctor found evidence of a more serious health problem, so I'll be getting more tests and things, but I was so happy with the doctor I got. When she told me what I might have, which is something that runs in my family, I told her I didn't know anything about that problem, so she sat and patiently and kindly told me all she knew about it, explained it's a problem many women live with and that in ethnicities such as hers or mine, it could be even more common, but she gave me the magical line "us women have had to deal with things like this since always and we always pull through, so don't worry, there's a lot we can do" and I left not feeling worried at all, rather, empowered, calmer and confident.
So don't fucking undermine the importance of being able to choose exactly the doctor you want.

Highlights of the internship - Week 22 / Congress Edition:
• None of the hospital related events matter next to what I have lived during and for the congress of my university ahaha. I was going to make my first oral presentation this weekend and I have been preparing for it during all week.
• To say I was excited was to say the least.
• Almost every attending around us, even the dean, were saying that they were curious about our presentations and wanted to come and listen. I didn’t know I could get even more nervous?
• Especially on the presentation day, I could pass out hahah. Thankfully, I didn’t because there was a technical problem with the video I was going to show and dealing with it somehow calmed me down. My gynaecological oncology attending saved the video and me in the end though <3
• He did his oral presentation first and me and my friends looked at each other like, “after this amazing, magnificent, spectacular presentation; ours will look like sh*t” lol.
• But the liked it :’) so much :’) they but especially our gynaecological oncology attending praised us so much that I might have melted at the stage :’) he said we are like a resident in his eyes, not an intern :’) I also might not have stopped myself and thank to him and praise him while the dean was there too :’)
• So, as the future OB/GYN or gynaecological oncology doctors, me and my friend have finished this weekend in success 🥺

Possibly my spiciest take yet, but here we go:
Praising and lauding female celebrities for being childless is just as inappropriate and wrong as criticizing them for being childless.
We do not know these women. We don't know what's going on in their personal lives behind closed doors. Yes, being child-free might be their own free choice, and a choice that has brought them nothing but happiness, joy, and the freedom to live their life exactly as they want, for themself and for nobody else.
But maybe not.
Maybe they've had six miscarriages.
Maybe they have been struggling with infertility for ten years.
Maybe their last four relationships have fallen apart due to disagreements regarding having children.
Maybe deciding to not have children in favor of focusing on their career was the hardest decision they've ever had to make.
Or maybe not. Maybe they just don't have kids because they don't want kids, and there's literally nothing more to it than that.
The point is that WE DON'T KNOW. It's a personal decision, and they don't owe us an explanation. We just don't know.
But what I do know is this: I am training to be an obstetrician and gynecologist. I have spoken to women who are in every possible position of wanting kids, not wanting kids, still deciding if they want kids, and everything in between. I've struggled with infertility myself, as well as with the difficult decision to delay having children in favor of my career.
And whenever I read a new think-piece "thanking" Taylor Swift for "remaining child-free", I just can't help but think about the patient sitting in front of me, also 34 years old, also a passionate career woman, breaking down and crying because her latest fertility treatment didn't work, asking what's wrong with her, what's broken within her, asking why God doesn't think she deserves a baby.
And I just imagine if she had to open up her phone and read an article "thanking" her for staying child-free.
End the obsession with female celebrities having (or not having) kids.

Who should follow my pregnancy: an OB/GYN, a family doctor or a midwife?
Tumblr media
Everything you need to know about who should follow your pregnancy
  Having a baby is an exciting and potentially overwhelming experience for expecting parents. There are many decisions to be made throughout the process, including who to rely on for medical guidance. It is important to ensure that you are choosing the right provider for your pregnancy journey. In this blog post, we will discuss who should follow your pregnancy journey: an OB/GYN, a family doctor or a midwife. We will explore the qualifications, benefits, and risks of each option, so that you can make an informed decision. It is essential to know the differences between the three providers to understand what is best for you and your baby. We will cover their backgrounds, the conditions they treat and the services they provide. Ultimately, the decision will be yours, based on your individual needs and preferences. Consider your personal health history When deciding who should follow your pregnancy, it is important to consider your personal health history. Ask yourself if you have any pre-existing conditions or conditions that may complicate a pregnancy. If so, you may need to consult with an OB/GYN who is equipped to handle any potential issues that may arise. Additionally, if you are over 35, it may be beneficial to seek out an OB/GYN with experience in managing pregnancies for older mothers. A family doctor may be able to provide some guidance, but an OB/GYN is better equipped to handle any complications that may arise. Furthermore, if you are interested in a holistic approach to pregnancy, such as a midwifery practice, then you should consult with a midwife. Evaluate the type of care that you prefer   When it comes to prenatal care, it is important to evaluate the type of care that you prefer. Some people may prefer to use an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) to provide their prenatal care, while others may prefer to use a family doctor or a midwife. Each option has its benefits and drawbacks, and it is important to make an informed decision based on your individual needs and preferences. It is also important to make sure that the provider you choose is familiar with the guidelines and standards set by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and that they can provide the type of care that you are seeking. Research the differences between an OB/GYN, family doctor, and midwife When deciding who should follow your pregnancy, it is important to understand the differences between an OB/GYN, family doctor, and midwife. OB/GYNs, or obstetrician-gynecologists, are medical doctors who specialize in women’s reproductive health. They provide comprehensive care for pregnant women, from pre-pregnancy counseling and prenatal care, to delivery and postpartum care. Family doctors, on the other hand, are general practitioners who provide comprehensive medical care to families. They can provide basic prenatal care, but are not experts in women’s reproductive health. Midwives are healthcare professionals who provide care to women throughout their pregnancy, labor, and delivery. They focus on natural childbirth and holistic care, and provide emotional and physical support to pregnant women. Ultimately, the choice of who should follow your pregnancy is up to you, but it is important to research the differences between these three options.  
Tumblr media
Make an informed decision based on your preferences A patient's choice of provider for their pregnancy should be based on their own preference. It is important to consider a variety of factors when making this decision, including the provider's experience, their availability, and the services they offer. When making an informed decision, it is important to do your research and ask questions to ensure you find the right provider that meets your needs. Consider the geographic location of the doctor or midwife   When considering who to follow your pregnancy with, you should also take into account the geographic location of any prospective doctor or midwife. Factors such as travel time and distance to the office, availability of parking, and the location of the delivery hospital should be taken into consideration when making your decision. If you have to travel long distances for appointments or have difficulty finding parking, for example, your experience as a patient may be compromised. Research the doctor or midwife’s experience in treating pregnant women When considering who should follow your pregnancy, it is important to research the doctor or midwife's experience in treating pregnant women. Ask questions such as how long they have been in practice, how many pregnant women they have seen, and what type of training and experience they have. Additionally, if you are considering a midwife, inquire about their certifications and affiliations. Ultimately, you want to make sure that you are in safe and capable hands when it comes to your healthcare provider during such a special and important time. Compare and contrast the cost of services Generally, cost is an important factor to consider when deciding who to choose for your pregnancy care. Generally, OB/GYNs and family doctors charge similar fees for their services, while midwives tend to charge less. You should also consider the cost of any additional services, such as ultrasounds, lab work, and other tests, as these can add up quickly. Additionally, OB/GYNs and family doctors may have access to additional services and treatments that midwives may not have, such as in-office procedures and surgeries, which can add to the overall cost of care. Ultimately, it is important to discuss the various costs associated with each provider before making a decision. Determine the frequency of check-ups that you need In order to ensure that your pregnancy is progressing as expected and that you remain healthy throughout, it is important to determine the frequency of check-ups that you need. You should use the expertise of your healthcare provider to determine the best plan for you. An OB/GYN is the best choice for high-risk pregnancies, and might recommend two or more visits per month. However, for a normal pregnancy, a family doctor or midwife may be able to schedule visits every four to six weeks.      
Tumblr media
Investigate the hospital or birthing center where the OB/GYN or midwife practices Before making a decision on who should follow your pregnancy, it is essential to research the hospital or birthing center where the OB/GYN, family doctor or midwife practices. Factors such as the condition of the facility, the availability of medical technology, the policies and protocols of the hospital or birthing center, and the rate of successful deliveries are all key elements that should be taken into consideration. Additionally, some hospitals and birthing centers may offer specialized options, such as breastfeeding support and childbirth classes. Ultimately, it is important to choose a location that is comfortable and safe, and one in which you feel confident and secure. Ask family and friends for their recommendations One of the most beneficial methods for finding the right care provider for your pregnancy is to ask family and friends for their recommendations. Speak to individuals who have recently been through a pregnancy, or those who have had good experiences with a specific provider. Ask them what they liked or disliked about their experience. This can be invaluable information as you make the decision of which care provider to follow during your pregnancy. In conclusion, every woman's pregnancy is unique and the best person to consult is a healthcare provider. It is important to get the advice of an OB/GYN, a family doctor or a midwife depending on the kind of support and care needed. It is always recommended to have a team of healthcare providers who can provide the necessary guidance and support during the pregnancy. With the right help and support, the mother can have a safe and successful pregnancy.
