The Baby Born in a Bus Stop (and Other Home Birth Stories) |Life of a Midwife Ep. 9
About this episode
This episode explores the differences in home birth practices from the 1970s to today through the experiences of two midwives.
Was home birth different in the 1970s compared to today? This week, two midwives take us inside the world of birth beyond the hospital: from pioneering one of the earliest home water births to facing the realities, risks, and unexpected moments that come with bringing a baby into the world at home — even when the carpet is cream! If you’re interested in being part of the Life of a Midwife series, we’d love to hear from you — just drop us an email midwives@pixiu.co.uk Links from our midwives: All4Maternity is the go to place for education and support if you’re a midwife or student midwife.
