Natalie Whyte is the Service User Voice Representative for the Midlands. She was formerly Co-Chair of the Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland Maternity Voices Partnership. Natalie is a wife and mother of 4. She has always been passionate about midwifery and all aspects of pregnancy.
Natalie became involved with the Maternity Voices Partnership after suffering a stillbirth at 34 weeks pregnant in 2017. This was a traumatic devastating experience that propelled her on a mission to make a meaningful change within maternity services. She is an advocate and educator by profession and has used that experience to highlight the stigma surrounding stillbirth among the ethnic minority community.

Natalie’s moto is “I have lived it, breathed it and now I am giving back”.
