I am the Principal Investigator on the Maternal health And Maternal Morbidity in Ireland (MAMMI) study and the 5-year follow-up study (https://www.tcd.ie/mammi/). The 10-year follow-up study survey is being co-developed with study participants and will include a new section on menopausal health. As a leader of multidisciplinary and multi-institutional bids with internationally recognised partners on various maternal health-related studies, my research programme focuses on building a body of work that seeks to reveal, and address, the hidden and unmet health needs of women during pregnancy and motherhood, and during life after motherhood. The central themes underpinning my research are on increasing the scientific community's and the public's awareness and understanding of women's experiences, amplifying women's voices as co-designers and co-producers of research, and influencing practice and policy. I has a strong record of co-design, and co-presentation and co-authorship with women in multiple media formats. I am a member of the National Women's and Infants Health Programme steering committees on antenatal and postnatal educational resources, the national severe maternal morbidity and maternal death in Ireland groups, one of Ireland's management committee members on the COST Action 18138 on peripartum depression and work group 4 leader on EU COST IS1405 Action, Building Intrapartum Research Through Health (BIRTH) (2014-2018). My main areas of methodological research expertise include longitudinal cohort studies, mixed methods research, qualitative research and systematic reviews.

  MAMMI-SIM study: Maternal health And Maternal Morbidity in Ireland - Second baby survey, Intervention for urinary incontinence, Measurement of costs
  Summary

  The overall aim of the MAMMI-SIM study is to build and attract capacity into the area of maternal health and health-services research at postdoctoral level in Ireland. In the first phases of the MAMMI study (Maternal health And Maternal Morbidity in Ireland), 3,041 nulliparous women were recruited from three maternity hospitals in Ireland. Participants completed/are completing surveys about their health and health problems, if any, they experienced before and during pregnancy, and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postpartum. The MAMMI-SIM is a follow-up study with these women that involves: (i) Second baby survey; (ii) Intervention for women with urinary incontinence, and (iii) Measuring costs of morbidity to women and services. It will tell us what health problems resolve, persist or get worse after the birth of the second baby, what health services women use, what can be done to resolve some problems such as urinary incontinence, and the costs of these services for women and the health service.

  Summary

  The physical, hormonal, and psychological changes experienced by women during and after motherhood (re)present societal challenge for female equity in the workplace. The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to integrate knowledge on maternal health with work, career, and organisational engagement, and evaluate existing maternal organisational and public policies to generate a more comprehensive understanding of how women engage in the workplace as mothers, and beyond. There are three integrated work packages centring on three core objectives: " To administer a 10-year follow-up survey for the MAMMI study with a designated section on occupational and vocational implications of motherhood " To explore dimensions of career, work, and organisational engagement in motherhood, including role congruence, identity, career progression, workplace engagement, and work-life conflict " To evaluate the journey by which women navigate and negotiate work and related policies and systems at national and local level identifying the enablers, barriers, gaps, and pathways to solutions.

  Improving the organisation of maternal health service delivery, and optimising childbirth, by increasing vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) through enhanced women-centred care (OptiBIRTH)
  Summary

  The study addresses the widespread concern over rising Caesarean section rates throughout Europe, particularly routine CS following a previous CS, despite calls for increased vaginal births after Caesarean (VBAC). VBAC is associated with lower maternal mortality than repeat CS, less overall morbidity for mothers and babies, and is the preferred option for the majority of women. VBAC rates in Ireland, Germany, and Italy are significantly lower (29-36%) than those in the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden (45-55%). The OptiBIRTH project will use a cluster randomised trial in Ireland, Germany, and Italy, with 15 clusters of 94 women in each, to increase VBAC rates from 33% to 53% through a complex intervention designed to increase women-centred care and women's involvement in their care.

  Women's knowledge and practice of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises (PFME) and their opinions of PFME education at the Rotunda Hospital
  Summary

  This study aims to ascertain women's knowledge and practices in relation to PFME, their opinions of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises (PFME) education services at the Rotunda Hospital and their opinions of the four self-help educational videos on PFME and leaking urine. The study is being done because early findings from the the MAMMI (Maternal health And Maternal Morbidity in Ireland) Study show that 1 in 3 first-time mothers leak urine in early pregnancy. Many of these women think leaking urine is an inevitable part of pregnancy and do not seek help or advice. In order to provide education on PFME to a greater number of women, four self-help educational videos on PFME and leaking urine were designed and developed by myself and the physiotherapy staff in the Rotunda Hospital.
