Louise White asks whether there is enough post-natal support for mothers and newborns and if you regularly face excessive postal delivery charges.
TOPIC 1: POSTAL CHARGES
Thousands of Scots are being hit with huge delivery charges because bungling firms regularly class mainland towns and cities as offshore. A report by Citizens Advice Scotland has discovered 15,000 businesses have been penalised by unfair charges in a delivery postcode lottery.
Louise asks: Do you regularly face excessive postal delivery charges?
TOPIC 2: POST NATAL SUPPORT
A poll from the Royal College of Midwives found their staff were 'frustrated' at not having enough time to spend with mothers and newborns after birth. Only 24% of midwives feel the amount of time they spend with mums is determined by the mother's needs. They point out that they are restricted by 'organisational pressures' and say that there is a dissatisfaction about post-natal care.
Louise asks: Is there enough support for mums after they've given birth?
Extra Question:
Everybody has put off today what can be done tomorrow. And that might be because procrastination is in your genes, a new study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests. This Morning we'd like to hear, what is the big job that you've been putting off?
