Physiological labour and birth are the processes our bodies do naturally to give birth to our babies. We've been well designed for labour and birth and many people can give birth safely and without medical intervention. In this episode I will explain what I mean by physiological birth, the environmental and hormonal factors which enhance the natural processes, and how to optimise your chances of having a straightforward physiological birth. Of course medical interventions are sometimes needed for medical reasons, but make sure there are good reasons before agreeing to any induction or intervention in your labour. Accepting interventions without good medical reasons can sometimes lead to worse outcomes.

Being a birth partner is a really special thing to do. In this episode you will learn how to support your partner, whilst being able to remain calm and enjoy the experience yourself. I will give you tips to aid effective communications with health professionals and practical ways you can support your friend or partner throughout labour and birth.

In this episode I introduce myself, my experience and what I hope to share with you in future episodes
