In this episode I chat to author, researcher, midwife and speaker Dr Rachel Reed. We discuss the history of childbirth and how we have reached the current situation that medicalises birth, often to the detriment of mother and baby. We talk about medical intervention, how they were introduced, and why we need radical change in maternity care.
