POAC
Welcome to the Pyramid of Antenatal Change.
We have created this foundation to honor the lives of our Daughters Amalia and Holly Devine.
Our focus is the prevention of stillbirths by informing & empowering parents.
Parents should have all possible data about the latest advancements available to help before, during, and after pregnancy.
We believe that antenatal care should include a minimal screening of three ultrasound scans during pregnancy, this will eventually lead to a better understanding of the causes of stillbirth, with umbilical cord accidents (UCA) being one easily avoidable to reducing stillbirth & neurological damage.

Annual Grant Donation was awarded to Dr. Lior Mayo's cancer research laboratory in Tel Aviv.
A groundbreaking study at Tel Aviv University effectively eradicated glioblastoma, a highly lethal type of brain cancer. The study was led by Ph.D. student Rita Perelroizen, under the supervision of Dr. Lior Mayo
Dr. David Hutchon a retired NHS Obstetrics & Gynaecologist Consultant in Darlington, is an advocate of DELAYED CORD CLAMPING.
“EARLY CORD CLAMPING must be avoided in all births, even when resuscitation is necessary.” Recent studies suggest that delayed cord clamping (DCC) is advantageous for achieving hemodynamic stability and improving oxygenation compared to immediate cord clamping (ICC) during fetal-to-neonatal transition.
His research inspired him to Design & Engineer a Specialized LifeSTart Trolley, which was first presented at the London Congress of RCOG in 2008.

Currently, David is undertaking a Master of Public Health in medical engineering to develop a hands-free Doppler ultrasound.
“During pregnancy, ultrasound Doppler is used to determine the heart rate of the fetus (unborn baby). This has been established practice throughout the world for over 40 years. It is accurate and audible, which means that anyone in the room can immediately hear if there is a problem with the fetal heart rate. After birth, the heart rate of the newborn baby is traditionally detected using a stethoscope over the baby’s chest. This is an inferior technique in that it is only heard by one person.”

UK doctors finally open up!
Umbilical Cord Accidents (UCA)
UK Drs (Obstetricians/OBYG) advise UK actress Jennifer Metcalfe, Holyoak's actress, about the dangers of UCA during pregnancy, leading to stillbirth or brain damage, silently affecting thousands of families worldwide.
After years of hiding and ignoring information, NHS doctors finally advise, unfortunately to just a few lucky ladies, about the risks of stillbirth and brain damage due to Umbilical Cord Accidents: Cord Entanglement, Nuchal Cord (around babies' neck), true knots, cord insertion, etc.
Jennifer Metcalfe Hollyoaks actress reveals it live on UK TV.
For the past 10 years, we at POAC have advocated that all pregnancies should be screened for cord complications. We have presented a powerful report at the London Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Yet, to date both the RCOG & RCM in the UK are still denying and avoiding screening for umbilical cord accidents. An injustice to Parents and Babies to whom both colleges serve. Urgent Public Inquiry Needed
A must watch!

Pauline Hull,
founder of elective caesarean & Fully supports POAC
Pauline says POAC deserves recognition for its commitment to exploring new research and helping prevent the loss of precious lives. Technology is often seen as a last resort in pregnancy and childbirth, and the tendency is to approach intervention as a last resort only. In fact, using technology during pregnancy could help many women to make a more informed choice about their birth plan, in consultation with a medical professional.
