About this episode

Midwife Beth discusses natural ways to speed up labour and the factors that influence it.

In this episode I’m joined by midwife and mum of four Beth from The Bump to Baby Chapter to talk about one of the most common questions I get asked: how to speed up labour. We explore what can slow labour down, what can help it progress, baby positioning, biomechanics, oxytocin, cervical dilation and the difference between trying to force labour and creating the right conditions for it to flow. A really practical and reassuring conversation for anyone preparing for birth. A big thank you to Take Five Aromatherapy for making this episode possible!
