Volunteers needed to talk about birth choices and a chance to win £250 (NB To take part you have to have given birth in England in the last two years!)

[carriemumsnet]

We?ve been asked by the Department of Health to find women who are willing to help new parents-to-be by talking about the choices they made while they were pregnant. In order to be eligible you need to live in England and have given birth in the last two years. You will need to be happy to discuss the choices you made when first accessing maternity and antenatal care, as well as the choices you made about where to give birth and your access to postnatal care. They may also want to film you talking about your choices and show these films on relevant websites.

If selected you will be reimbursed for your time and expenses.

If you are interested in volunteering pleaseclick here

There's also a survey open to anyone who has given birth in the last two years in England. Everyone who completes the survey will be in with a chance of winning a £250 voucher for a store of their choice. To take the survey click here

Thanks and good luck

I just really want to win something

Oh and i breed like a rabbit

oh, i know i won't be picked, my reasons turned into a bit of a whine and winge rather than a positive account of giving birth in this country!

would love to ,but my youngest is nearly 4.

Done.

I live in Wales, so that's me out.

I would do the volunteering if I didn't have to be filmed! (shudder)

why do the surveys always ask for email and MN nickname? surely you can tell our MN nickname from our email?

done

have volunteered as well, but just realised that i didn't read your brief terribly well and think that my experience of VBAC probably isn't all that relevant to first time mums ....ah well!

done

ha ha. i can just not see them choosing me. I was left with PTSD after the first birth and was adamant the second time that wild horses would not drag me back to an nhs maternity ward.

Doubt if they'll pick me, I was rather negative!!

Foxy - meant to tell you, my friend gave birth at the same hospital as you, her experience, though not as bad as yours, was not good - and the bfing support was utterly appauling! Boob grabbing and everything!!

i am back BT! can we organise a meetup with other durham folk?

done!

I did it even though dd is over two because ds4 will be here by the time they are sorted.

Have done it.

Done it.

done it!

complete!

Just finished the survey. It said to think about your most recent pregnancy, but I thought the question about what you wish you'd known beforehand applied mostly to first time mums. There are things I wish I'd known before my first pregnancy but of course by number 2 and 3 I knew them already. For this question, I didn't find any of the answers particularly applicable to a third pregnancy.
