In this episode, I chat to Dr Melanie Jackson about common birth myths that need some serious busting like women's birth experiences depend on it... because they do.
Mel is a private midwife with her PhD, host of the amazing 'Great Birth Rebellion Podcast", and a mumma. She's worked for 16 years as a midwife caring for birthing women, and now trains + mentors other midwives. When it comes to birth, she knows her stuff. It was so much fun bouncing off each other in this episode and busting some myths (or, as she beautifully puts it, telling the truth) about birth.
Misinformation is one of the most dangerous things about pregnancy. In a culture that over-medicalises birth, and commonly views pregnancy as a pathological state, it's crucial to get well informed. Pregnancy itself isn't dangerous, but misinformation is.
So grab a snack, buckle up and let's bust some myths (or just tell the truth!) about birth.
