A Midwife’s Honest Guide to Birth & Beyond

A Midwife’s Honest Guide to Birth & Beyond

Today, we're joined by the brilliant Marie Louise – better known as The Modern Midwife – to talk about What They Don’t Tell You... about birth, recovery and the mental load of motherhood. With over a decade of NHS experience and two children of her own, Marie shares expert advice and honest truths about pregnancy, birth plans, pain relief, mum guilt, intrusive thoughts, and the pressure on modern mums to “do it all.”

In this episode, we’ll talk about:
  • What birth plans are really for – and how to prepare for the unpredictable
  • Why it’s not normal for breastfeeding to hurt
  • The pressure to “bounce back” and why it's time to let that go
  • Intrusive thoughts and the early signs of postnatal anxiety
  • How partners can truly support new mums
We hope this conversation reassures, informs and supports you – whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or supporting someone who is.
