On December 18th, Catherine Wedd MP’s private members' bill had its first reading, aiming to ensure all mothers/birthing parents are legally entitled to a 3-day stay after birth if they choose. This is a significant step forward for postnatal care in Aotearoa! The bill also requires lead maternity carers to inform mothers/birthing parents of this 72-hour entitlement, ensuring every mother/birthing parent knows their rights. With Minister Wedd sharing her personal experience, it’s clear this issue touches us all. https://lnkd.in/gygKQvuM Let’s ensure every birthing parent gets the support and care they deserve. #postnatalsupport #postnatalcare

This petition sheds light on a mother’s journey through the maternal mental health system - a story that’s far too common in Aotearoa. It calls on the New Zealand Government to ensure equitable, accessible, and culturally appropriate care for all families during this critical time. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gyivXf4n Let’s amplify her voice and demand change. #perinatalwellbeing #perinatalmentalhealth #perinatalsupport #change
