We discuss the medicalisation of birth, how fear and risk are often overstated in modern maternity care, and the need to shift social messaging that frames birth as inherently risky and dangerous. Mel explains why continuity of care is so important for positive birth outcomes, whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth centre birth, home birth, vaginal birth, or caesarean birth. The conversation also explores the importance of acknowledging and working through fears around pregnancy and birth, rather than suppressing them. Mel shares three practical questions to ask when an intervention is suggested during pregnancy or labour: Is it medically necessary? Is it standard policy or usual practice? Or is it the doctor’s personal preference? A grounded, inclusive conversation about informed consent, maternal choice, and maternity care that prioritises the birthing mother and baby (duh!!) An essential listen for women thinking about having a baby, currently pregnant, or preparing for birth- in other words…share this with your preggy and preggy-to-be friends Dazeys!!
