S2 EP11: Breaking down the NHS maternity statistics for 2022-23 (use this to get a better birth!)

Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 2 episode 11. In this episode I'm discussing the recently released NHS maternity statistics 2022-23 and whilst they seem pretty bleak on the surface, this is crucial information if you're planing on giving birth within the system. I discuss my top tips for navigating this and end with a pep talk!

*Please note, there will be a part 2 podcast talking about if intervention is actually making us safer, it is an important part of the narrative but was too long of a segment for me to include here so has become it's own episode.
