The Midwives' Cauldron

Loved the episode on ‘physiological plateaus’. Made me feel vindicated in my decision to refuse the hormone drip during my last labour when the dr was concerned that I hadn’t dilated 1cm per hr. I went from 6cm to baby being born in less than an hr with no intervention. So important that women and partners know that labour doesn’t stick to a schedule! Thanks for sharing this important information ❤️

I was listening to the episode ‘being with Woman while working in the system part 1 on my way back from work, and I was HOWLING in the car with you, please do a Christmas Paraben Album!!! Hahaha Katie and Rachel are incredibly knowledgable midwives, and even though I have only ever heard them over the podcast, I feel like they are my midwife companions who I get to listen to whilst driving to my NHS job. You learn so much from this podcast, a lot of topics that don’t get covered in university courses or preceptorship programmes. I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I finish all the episodes (only discovered this in 2023) - I may start a campaign to bring this podcast back..? I genuinely would love a midwives cauldron hoodie or tote bag - I am that much of a fan of this show! Wishing you both all the very best and THANK YOU xx

So informative and interesting, I work at an NHS library and have always been interested in the science and culture or pregnancy childbirth and postnatal, I am learning so much from your podcast. Your presenting is really calming and approachable.

Currently pregnant and love listening to this podcast! Listening while knitting at 40 weeks pregnant it’s my happy place. Big thank you!
