Kelly Thistlethwaite, Co-Founder of FLY Mama states:
“1 in 3 women experience birth trauma, 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in loss and every year around 2,500 babies are born stillborn. Too often following trauma and loss, the support provided consists of well wishes and a leaflet. Women deserve and need more support and we want to provide this for them. We have teamed up with other experts within our industry to help support these women navigate their experiences or loss and support them in their journey.”
One of the experts, Laura Greenwood says:
“I am so proud to be joining FLY Mama on their mission to change the culture of support for all mothers and more specifically for those who have experienced perinatal trauma and loss.
I am so passionate about lifting the lid on the untold stories of motherhood. Birth Trauma is way more common than it should be and I want to help those who have faced it, feel much less alone, and know they can heal from their trauma.”
