A bit later than usual but better late than never, right?! 

This episode contains the second half of my conversation with consultant midwife Dawn Kerslake about maternity emergencies in prehospital care. We discussed ante- and postpartum haemorrhage, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. 

As always, please get in touch with any feedback and feel free to leave us a review (5 stars optional but ideal...)
