SURVEY - Improving maternity wards for the childless

I have the opportunity to present some facts about what it is like to be a childless woman on a maternity ward to a local health authority. Visiting for an appointment or staying overnight, all thoughts are important.

Wherever you live around the world

Whatever your experiences

They all matter and could make a difference

The survey is completely anonymous. It will only take a few minutes and you can give as much or as little information as you want.

Hi Steph,

thank you so much for sharing this survey. I really appreciate the opportunity to say what my experiences have been. They have not been great and at the time I didn't have a voice to stand up and say this is not right. But i wouldn't want anyone to have the same experience and I really hope this survey goes some way to change that.

Interestingly I was talking to an old uni friend the other day and she said she would have to get a hysterectomy because of endometriosis and she knew that would mean going to her local maternity ward for this procedure. So she hasnt had the op yet because of this! says alot doesn't it. That she would remain in pain rather than having to endure that! Something has to change x
