For its Christmas appeal this year, Christian Aid is focusing on maternal healthcare projects that provide delivery kits, training and transport, all to help save the lives of mums and babies in Kenya. So, Christian Aid has asked us to find out about Mumsnetters' birth experiences in the UK, and to celebrate the people who helped you through it .
Christian Aid have said "Each year in Kenya 40,000 babies don't survive their first month of life and 14,700 women die from complications during childbirth and pregnancy. In rural areas, losing babies is so common that it’s simply considered a part of life."
So, who were the heroes who supported you when you gave birth? Was there a midwife who went above and beyond to make things smoother for you? A birth partner who really made a difference? What did they do that you particularly appreciated?
Christian Aid would love to hear your experiences and thoughts, so please do share them here.
Thanks,
MNHQ
PS - With Giving Tuesday taking place today, take a look at Christian Aid's video to find out more about their Christmas appeal:
