‘Joanna’ said she was handcuffed to a prison officer for more than 30 hours while she was in labour and was told by the officers: “Sorry, rules are rules…” ❤️‍🩹 yet the ‘rules’ say that restraints should not be used on women in labour! @rcm.org.uk @birthcompanions.bsky.social @cleanbrk.bsky.social

Handcuffing pregnant women is inhumane, dangerous, & violates MoJ policies. #midwives #doctors - challenge this practice if you see a pregnant woman in handcuffs! @rcm.org.uk @cleanbrk.bsky.social @birthcompanions.bsky.social @janeystarling.bsky.social @shonaminson.bsky.social @drlucyb.bsky.social
