I’m beyond grateful for what you are doing for women. Listening to your podcast helped me to understand the system and taught me how to advocate for myself. I had my second baby recently and even though I had complications and ended up in theatre again, I had my healing experience. I had an unmediated birth with no interventions in the hospital setting. With only my midwife and my partner present. And everything I wished for had happened. Thank you for educating women!
Fantastic, informative, evidence based podcast. I avoided an episiotomy due to this podcast - felt informed and empowered enough to somehow, between pushes, tell the obstetrician that I did not consent to the episiotomy they were telling me they were going to perform. And then I didn’t even tear!
I’ve been listening to an episode a day in this pregnancy. Melany is calm, straightforward and funny. I always end up feeling more confident and supported by the end of each episode.
Dr. Melanie Jackson is awesome! I feel so empowered with my pregnancies because of this podcast and all of the other sources and information that Dr Melanie provides.
I’m a mum of two who birthed in the system twice. I only wish I had listened to this podcast at the beginning of my pregnancy. This podcast is informative, non judgemental and should be essential listening for not only birthing people but staff and health clinicians within the system. Thankyou Dr Melanie for the hard work you do.
