'It felt like a Victorian birth and it shouldn't have'
Theo was born after being induced, with the labour lasting for an hour and ten minutesWhen Leigh Milner gave birth to her baby boy last month she was expecting "all the pain relief" but ended up with just paracetamol and describes her labour as absolutely unbearable.
"It felt like a Victorian birth and it shouldn't have. From start to finish, that day was an absolute mess."Leigh believes mothers need more clarity and support amid confusing advice from hospitals Permanent gas and air units are being fitted soon at the hospital, Giuseppe Labriola, director of midwifery, says.
Kirsty Old, 33, from Ipswich, wanted to use it during the delivery of her third child, Hallie, in December. Kirsty had previously used pethidine in labour and had a bad reaction. She did not want an epidural because she wanted to be mobile throughout labour and "know what was happening to my body"."I'm still quite cross about it. I don't feel like I had the birth experience I wanted. I had a lovely labour with just gas and air with my second child but this was taken away from me," the 33-year-old adds.

‘Just snap out of it’ – the experience of loneliness in women with perinatal depression: a Meta-synthesis of qualitative studies - BMC PsychiatryBackground Pregnancy and the arrival of a new baby is a time of great transition and upheaval. Women often experience social isolation and loneliness at this time and may develop depression, particularly in the postnatal period. Qualitative studies have reported that loneliness is also a feature of perinatal depression. However, until now there has been no attempt to synthesise research exploring the links between loneliness and perinatal depression. This study’s aim was to explore existing qualitative evidence to answer two research questions: What are the experiences of loneliness for women with perinatal depression? What helps and what makes loneliness worse for women with perinatal depression? Methods A qualitative meta-synthesis retrieved primary qualitative studies relevant to the research questions. Four electronic databases were systematically searched (Ovid MEDLINE®; PsycINFO; Embase; Web of Science). Papers were screened according to pre-defined inclusion criteria and assigned a quality score. Thematic analysis was used to identify major overarching themes in the literature. Results Twenty-seven relevant qualitative studies were included. Themes relating to the interaction between perinatal depression and loneliness included self-isolation and hiding symptoms due to stigma of perinatal depression and fear of judgement as a ‘bad mother’; a sudden sense of emotional disconnection after birth; and a mismatch between expected and actual support provided by partner, family and community. There was also a double burden of loneliness for women from disadvantaged communities, due to increased stigma and decreased social support. Validation and understanding from healthcare professionals, peer support from other mothers with experience of perinatal depression, and practical and emotional family support were all important factors that could ameliorate loneliness. Conclusions Loneliness appears to play a central role in the experience of perinatal depression based on
