Germany has NO legal protection for mothers breastfeeding or pumping in public. 😳🙅♀️We spoke to German moms, and found that more than two-thirds have had negative experiences breastfeeding in public, and 11% have been thrown out of a bar or other public place. We can't just sit back and watch this happen - it's time to make noise and make change. National football superstar Tabea Sellner breastfed loud and proud yesterday in Berlin whilst watching the Germany v Hungary Euros game. If you're based in Germany and want to support, we've launched a petition to legally protect German mothers to breastfeed and pump milk anytime, anywhere.

But experience a birth that fills you with strength and pride? That feeling can last a lifetime. Tune into this month’s ‘Skin Like a Rhino’ to hear Siobhan Miller, founder of The Positive Birth Company, talks to Tania Boler about how knowledge is power when it comes to pregnancy, birth and postpartum 💥Listen now 👉 http://spr.ly/60405UTLr

Did you see our founder Tania Boler at the Decoding the Future of Women event earlier this week? Tania delved into the future of femtech and its potential in the coming years. ✨ 11 years ago, when Elvie was founded, the term femtech didn't even exist and look how far the industry has come. As a business, we've already revolutionised two categories within women's healthcare, there's so much new technology and innovation on the horizon. We're only just getting started. 🚀

How am I going to get this baby out of my body??!! 🤯In this month’s Skin Like a Rhino, Tania chats to Siobhan Miller, founder of The Positive Birth Company, who recalls being heavily pregnant with her first child and knowing absolutely nothing about birth apart from the horror stories she'd seen in the movies. 😱 🎬 Sensing that things could be better for women, she dived deep into hypnobirthing and went on to have three more happy, relaxed pregnancies and births (even if things didn't go completely to plan every time 🤪). Siobhan has made it her mission to challenge the cultural conditioning that makes childbirth seem terrifying, and to empower women with the knowledge they need to feel positive - maybe even excited - about giving birth. 💪Watch now. 👉 http://spr.ly/604856wm0#elvie #skinlikearhino #hypnobirthing #breathwork
