The Cervix isn't Everything in Labour!

Isn't it time we debunked the 'stages of labour'? The belief that we can define where someone is in labour and how long it is, how safe it is, depending on the state of the cervix?! The medical model relies heavily on the cervix as a way to monitor and manage labour, yet it is only one TINY piece of the puzzle!

In this episode I talk about...

  • those 'stages' of labour and why the medical model loves them
  • one of the reasons behind vaginal exams
  • the baby's journey
  • We're diving into labour inside the birthkeeper programme right now. It opens again in September, so if you are feeling called and want to learn more come along to my taster session - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/birthkeeper-course-free-taster-session-tickets-639489870417
