Aged 20-25 from Northern Ireland?

[jennifermc]

Hi all

I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Sociology at Queens University Belfast. Two years ago I graduated with a BA in Women's Studies. I am funded by the Department of Education and my study has been ethically approved, will be confidential and anonymous.

4 and a half years ago, when I was 21, I gave birth to my daughter. As a result of my experiences with the maternity services in Northern Ireland, I became interested in the stories other mothers tell about their experiences.

I am especially interested in women who have recently given birth in Northern Ireland , and were aged 20 to 25 years old.

So if you are interested, or would like to hear more about the study, please get in touch via Mumsnet, on 07716032891 or via [email protected] .

Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm 34, gave birth 3 years ago but I suppose I'm not much use to you...? The care while I was giving birth could have been better (negligent in my opinion).

yeah, i had my daughter in the royal in Belfast and I'd be inclined to agree with you...that's what prompted this whole project

unfortunately, (as much as I would like to) I can't interview everyone and need to stick to the age group mentioned, and those from NI - or i might never finish the thesis

thanks for the offer though and i'll bear you in mind

You might be better posting on the local board, (Im 25, but gave birth in the royal in 2002, so not relevent)
