The Mechanics of Birth with Lead Research Midwife Amy Sutton Cole

The Mechanics of Birth with Lead Research Midwife Amy Sutton Cole

The way labour and birth is depicted on film and TV has bugged me for some years and, I think, does little to make women feel empowered. This episode isn't about how or where to give birth - that's your choice - but we do talk about what happens in an uncomplicated vaginal birth.


Amy is the Lead Research Midwife in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the university of Cambridge, and study coordinator for the Pregnancy Outcome Prediction Study 2 (POPS2). She's previously worked as a senior research midwife in the NHS, and as the Eastern Regions Champion Research Midwife for the NIHR. Amy received a Chief Midwifery Officer Silver Award in 2020 for her work in reproductive health and childbirth research.

Amy has also been an independent midwife, which is when I met her as she delivered my second child.


Birthrights is a great charity that helps you understand your rights when giving birth in the UK.
