Thank you for helping me keep this real, raw, and free.

In this episode of Against the Grain, I pull no punches and expose the dirty little money games behind birth.

The NHS and maternity care? Let’s just say profit often comes before people.

I spill the tea on the cascade of interventions that turn a simple hospital check-in into a full-blown C-section, and how the Group B Streptococcus antibiotic racket messes with your microbiome. We get realabout the long-term trauma women carry silently after birth, and why doulas are the real MVPs in helping women reclaim their experiences.

I’m here to show you how to question everything, fight back, and take your power back in the birthing room—because birth isn’t a transaction, it’s your life.

Takeaways:

The NHS runs on payment-by-results

“High-risk” labels? Often just a ticket to unnecessary procedures.

A cascade of interventions

Group B Streptococcus antibiotics & wrecking your microbiome

Many women live with birth trauma for years without even realising it.

Doulas change the game—reducing interventions and protecting your birth experience.

The system literally profits off women’s trauma and ongoing health issues.

Natural healing methods to empower you and cut your dependence on pharma.

The placenta? Treated as trash, when it could boost your recovery.

Knowledge is power: education and informed choices beat consumerism every time.
