To kick off this seventh episode, I’m sharing the live recording of the recent Q & A we did for our Ask the Midwife series.

Beth Ryan, our midwife and childbirth educator will discuss:

• The GBS test
• Strategies for posterior labour
• Reducing the need for forceps or vacuum
• Cervical lips
• Pros and cons of an ECV
• Expressing colostrum
• Tips to reduce perineal tearing
• Advice for women with fear around childbirth
• Can a baby ever be too big to be born vaginally
• Different induction methods
• Customising your birth plan for a C-section

Whilst today’s episode is the final one for this series, we also have a bonus episode exclusive only to Posse members where Beth talks us through the top 3 hospital bag items you should have, how to get your partner to support you best during birth, managing posterior labour and the low down on epidurals.
