S2 EP51: Dr Rachel Reed - Midwife + Author of "Reclaiming Childbirth as a Rite of Passage"

Today I have the honour of interviewing a mother and midwife, podcast host (The Midwives’ Cauldron), award-winning blog writer (Midwife Thinking), author and academic, Dr Rachel Reed. On today’s episode we discuss the link between labelling pregnant women and interventions, the true risks associated with meconium stained waters, beyond the label of gestational diabetes, and so much more. Rachel also shares her own birth experiences and gives us an insight into the creation of her most recent book “Reclaiming Birth As A Rite Of Passage". This is a fantastic episode jam packed full of some extremely useful information.
