Hosted by Dr Melanie Jackson (@melaniethemidwife www.melaniethemidwife.com) and B (@coreandfloorrestore www.coreandfloor.com.au). Modern birth practices are stifling women's autonomy, minimising the birth experience and endorsing the medicalisation of birth. The Great Birth Rebellion dismantles western beliefs and management of birth and presents an evidence-based alternative to modern birth practices. We believe that calculated rebellion against medicalised maternity care is the evidence-based and preferred path to having a great birth. This is the great birth rebellion.

Customer Reviews
Binged it
After my midwife recommended this podcast, I binged every episode over two months. Really informative, often funny, not preachy and most importantly- facts! It’s given me the tools and confidence to gather more information and I feel prepared for whatever is yet to come.
The evidence podcast you need
This podcast helped me to make informed decisions during my pregnancy and labour. I listened to it with my partner and it helped him to advocate for me during labour and antenatal appointments as well. I recommend this podcast to every pregnant person I know. Thank you Mel and B 🙏🏻
Enjoyment as a women, mother and midwife
I love this podcast
