PRIVACY: What Do You Need to Stop Feeling Observed?What does privacy actually mean during labour?In this episode, we move to the second word in the SPACE Framework™: Privacy.Privacy isn't simply about being alone or having a closed door. A woman can have people she trusts around her and still feel completely private, while being physically alone doesn't necessarily mean she feels unobserved or protected from interruption.During labour, a woman may gradually become less socially aware and more absorbed in what is happening within her body. She may become quieter, close her eyes, move instinctively, make sounds without thinking about how she appears, and become far less interested in conversation or what is happening around her.So what happens when she is continually brought back into the outside world?The question I leave you with this week is:What do I need in order to stop feeling observed?Explore the SPACE Framework™ - https://stan.store/sallyannberesford/p/the-space-framework--digital-pdf (This is FREE within the Discover Your North Star Course)Send me a messageIf you want to access any of my free resources click here:-https://stan.store/sallyannberesfordIf you want to learn more about my Discover Your North Star Course then read more here:- https://stan.store/sallyannberesford/p/discover-your-north-star-If you love the podcast and would like to support it, then please use the link to 'buy me a coffee' - https://bmc.link/sallyannberesfordIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner  - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpar...

What can you do to support a physiologic birth when you're planning to give birth in a hospital? In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, we're joined by Dr. Melanie Jackson, also known as Melanie the Midwife, to explore the preparation, environment, movement, support, and mindset that can help create the conditions for labor to unfold as physiologically as possible. Melanie and Deb talk about the nervous system and hormonal blueprint of labor, knowing when to head to the hospital, creating a calmer birth environment, and how partners and doulas can help protect “labor land.” They also discuss movement and positioning during labor—including when someone has an epidural or continuous monitoring—as well as the importance of rest and conserving energy during a long labor. We also unpack the cascade of interventions, how common hospital routines can influence labor, and questions parents can ask so they feel informed and involved in their care. Throughout the conversation, Melanie and Deb return to an important idea: birth is not something we can completely control. Supporting physiologic birth is not about guaranteeing a particular outcome, but about creating supportive conditions while remaining flexible when circumstances change. They also discuss how to hold space for medical intervention or cesarean birth when it is the safest option, and what can help parents feel positive and supported in their birth experience regardless of how it unfolds.

SAFETY: What Does Safety Actually Feel Like?What do we really mean when we talk about safety in birth?In this episode, I introduce the first word in the SPACE Framework™: Safety.When we talk about safe birth, we often think about physical or clinical safety, and of course, the wellbeing of both mother and baby matters enormously. But safety is not only about clinical observations, equipment or the ability to respond if something changes.A woman is also experiencing birth through her nervous system.She is constantly responding to the people around her, the information she receives, the way she is spoken to and whether she feels able to relax, ask questions and let go.The question I leave you with this week is:What will I need to feel safe enough to let go?Explore the SPACE Framework™ - https://stan.store/sallyannberesford/p/the-space-framework--digital-pdf (This is FREE within the Discover Your North Star Course)Send me a messageIf you want to access any of my free resources click here:-https://stan.store/sallyannberesfordIf you want to learn more about my Discover Your North Star Course then read more here:- https://stan.store/sallyannberesford/p/discover-your-north-star-If you love the podcast and would like to support it, then please use the link to 'buy me a coffee' - https://bmc.link/sallyannberesfordIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner  - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpar...

The State of Arkansas told Brenda “Granny” Smith to stop attending births. She wadded up the cease-and-desist letter and threw it away. Brenda had already spent years helping mothers when she found herself facing state scrutiny, an arrest warrant, legal bills, and what she says were eight years of Facebook screenshots collected as evidence. Why keep going? Because Brenda believed God had called her to stand beside women who needed help, and she was not willing to let fear of the state become more important than obedience to Christ. That lived experience eventually helped her recognize something about herself: the Christian faith she already practiced fit naturally with anarchy built on consent and non-aggression. Her challenge is simple: “If your faith doesn't require something difficult of you, why are you even doing it?” In this episode, Craig and Brenda dig into:

Lord, Bring Forth What You Conceived In Me! Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the LORD. “Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?” says your God. Isaiah 66:9 In one of my seasons of waiting, I found myself yearning for the manifestation of promises spoken over my life. It was during this time that I stumbled upon the story of Elizabeth, who, after years of barrenness, was blessed with the miraculous birth of John the Baptist. Her testimony reminded me that what God conceives in us, though it may take time to mature, is always poised to overflow with purpose and potential once the appointed moment arrives. Scripturally, we find this truth echoed in Isaiah 66:9, where God assures us, “Will I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” Just as Elizabeth experienced the joy of receiving her promise in the ninth month, we too can anticipate the fruition of divine dreams. Habakkuk 2:3 encourages us, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time,” urging us to remain steadfast in our faith as we await our season of delivery. Isaiah 66:6 says, "When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son." Dear reader, God has promised that He will not bring you to the brink without deliverance. So, what dreams has God placed within you? Whether it's a dream of healing, restoration, or purpose, know that it is due. As you await the manifestation of His plan, I encourage you to examine your heart, release your fears, and declare boldly that your season of birthing is now. Just as Elizabeth clung to faith through her long wait, so too must you prepare yourself for what is to come. Let the spirit of expectation swell within you; trust that God's promise for you is on its way! I declare over you that the vision God has planted in your heart shall blossom! Just as Elizabeth became the mother of a miracle, so shall you hold the testimony of divine promises realized. Know that every prayer you have uttered is being heard; your faith, like hers, is preparing the way for this birth. May the Holy Spirit guide you daily, breathing life into every dream that aligns with God's purpose for your life. Amen. Hebrews 10:37 says, For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay. Amen. Prayer for the Day!Heavenly Father, I thank You for the vision and the promise You have placed within us. Midwife my promise, Lord; let it manifest without miscarriage. May we rejoice in the fullness of Your timing and grace. We give You all glory for the great and mighty things You are about to do. Holy Spirit, thank You for Your nurturing presence — lead us to the birth of our dreams and ambitions. “Lord, bring forth what You conceived in me!” I sense a stirring. It's time. Your vision for me is ripe and ready — my due date has arrived. In Jesus' name, Amen. https://maglife.org

Julia WackenheimTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Julia Wackenheim. Julia is an actress, a producer, a director, a screenwriter, an activist and a mother. In this episode, we chat about all of these different roles. We start off talking about where she grew up and what it was life to work in a casino in Atlantic City. Then I ask her some very personal questions about the type of care she chose for the birth of her baby. Julia is very open on this subject, and I appreciate it greatly. Next, we get into her time at I.O West, which was more than a decade. She discusses the differences between improv & stand-up comedy, which she prefers and why. Then we get into her writing and screenwriting a bit before we talk about how she came to be part of the 2-season series "F'd"; in which she was an actress and producer. She shares her experience working on the show "Live in Front of a Studio Audience: 'The Facts of Life'", and what it was life to watch the great James Burrow do his thing. Julia talks a bit about her work on 'Fear the Walking Dead', and what she likes to do in her down time on set. Finally, we discuss her role as producer on the short film 'Selah', and how she came to be part of it. We do a deeper dive on her series pilot 'Ethel & Ernie'; which she wrote, produced, directed, and stars in. She also tells me how her advocacy for workers' rights inspired the story for this comedy series. Follow Julia in all the usual places, and keep your eyes peeled for this sitcom to hit your TV.

There's a new doll that you may or may not want to buy for your child: it's pregnant. Inside the doll is a baby encased in an amniotic sac, and rather worryingly, once the doll has given birth, her stomach can return to looking like she's been working for 6 months in the gym with the simple press of a button…Joining Seán to discuss is Helena Tubridy, Fertility Coach and former Midwife.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit down with Siobhan as she shares the stories of her two very different birth experiences and the lessons she learned along the way.For her first pregnancy, Siobhan chose private obstetric care, hoping for a vaginal birth. She reflects on how, in hindsight, the model of care she chose didn't align with her birth preferences and unpacks the decisions she made throughout labour, including navigating conversations around induction, choosing an epidural, and experiencing an episiotomy.She also opens up about the often-overlooked postpartum period, sharing her breastfeeding challenges during the COVID pandemic and reflecting on the gaps she experienced in private obstetric care after birth.Determined to have a different experience the second time around, Siobhan chose a completely different model of care with a private midwife and planned a homebirth. She shares what led to that decision and how this birth transformed the way she viewed pregnancy, labour and birth.Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

In this episode, Augustine sits down with Rafia Islam, a midwife from Bangladesh with eight years of experience spanning refugee camps, mentorship roles, and one of Dhaka's busiest labor wards. Rafia walks us through her training, her path from data collector to midwife, and what a 12-hour night shift with 13 deliveries actually looks like.The conversation turns to the realities shaping birth in Bangladesh: a cesarean rate as high as 80% in some private hospitals, the financial incentives driving unnecessary surgery, and the coercion many families face in the delivery room. Rafia also shares why midwives are legally barred from home birth in Bangladesh, how the country's neonatal mortality rate has dropped dramatically since 2000, and a harrowing memory of delivering a baby during a hospital fire.This is a candid look at what it means to fight for autonomous, respected midwifery care in a system still learning what a midwife is for — and a reminder that no matter where you practice, the work of holding space for birth looks remarkably the same.

You've sat through an antenatal appointment focused on blood pressure and bump measurements, wishing there'd been room to talk about how you were actually feeling. Midwives want that room too, working inside appointments measured in minutes. There's real momentum building to bring emotional wellbeing further into that time together.Two researchers went looking at exactly what that momentum looks like in practice, and how to act on it without asking midwives to find time they don't have.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White sits down with Lesley Pascuzzi, childbirth educator and perinatal mental health researcher, and her colleague Nicole Freeman, midwife and PhD researcher in early pregnancy care, to unpack what midwives told them about supporting mental health during pregnancy. Together they explore where the system falls short, and the pilot program already testing a different way forward.You'll Hear About:Why the current model centres illness over wellnessWhat midwives believe a well woman looks likeHow time pressure shapes mental health conversationsWhy continuity of care changes everythingWhat the new pilot program is testingKnowledge is the foundation of advocating for your own mental health, in pregnancy and beyond. The more you understand about your options, the more equipped you are to ask for exactly what you need.If you've ever left an appointment feeling rushed or unheard, send this to a friend who's navigating pregnancy right now.

The most prestigious tennis tournament in the world begins today. But Wimbledon has already attracted global attention before the courts even open, with the wildcard return of tennis legend Serena Williams announced earlier this month, and the shock exit of British number one Emma Raducanu due to a stress fracture in her lower right leg. Nuala McGovern is joined by former British number one tennis champion, Annabel Croft. The Metropolitan Police says that harm to women by London's most dangerous men has been cut by more than half under their V100 initiative. Over 200 of the worst perpetrators of violence against women and girls have been convicted since they threw out the normal tactics and started employing counter-terrorism techniques, allied with data crunching. Nuala speaks to Deputy Commissioner Matt Jukes about how it works.Long before she picked up a pair of forceps as Nurse Trixie Franklin in the BBC drama Call the Midwife, actor Helen George trained in musical theatre. She's returning to those roots to play Tracy Lord in Cole Porter's High Society, a role made famous by Grace Kelly. She tells Nuala about coming back to the stage and treats us to a live performance of a classic Cole Porter song. As part of Radio 4's Once Upon a Time season we're delving into shape-shifting feminist fairy tales, stories which have been constantly evolving ever since the early oral tradition, via the ground-breaking works of writers like Angela Carter to the present day. Award-winning author Kirsty Logan, joins us down the line from Glasgow and the mythologist and psychologist Dr Sharon Blackie joins us from Cumbria. They'll tell us why they believe women need fairy tales now more than ever and, crucially, why we should keep re-writing them for ourselves.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Gestational diabetes is one of those topics that every pregnant mama needs to understand way before she ever gets to that 28 week test, whether she thinks it applies to her or not. And I could not be more excited about who I brought in to talk about it today.Bonnie and Karina are midwives in Davis County Utah and two of my favorite people in the birth world. I met them early in my birth work journey and I have never stopped being grateful for it. Bonnie has a background in nutrition and has been in birth work since 2014. Karina has had type one diabetes for over 35 years and lives this every single day. Between the two of them, they know more about gestational diabetes than most providers you will ever sit across from. I have actually told Bonnie that if I ever get pregnant again, I am either flying her out to me or heading to Utah, because these are the women I want in my corner.

OA1264 - Sherise Doyley was in the early stages of labor, in a hospital bed, preparing to deliver her baby, when nurses wheeled in a computer. On the screen was a judge, notifying her of an emergency order by the State of Florida to attempt to force her to undergo a C-section, instead of first attempting vaginal delivery. For 3 hours she advocated for herself, without an attorney, barely covered in a hospital gown. How was any of this legal? What is happening? Jenessa breaks down the history of our rights to make our own medical decisions and how that is legally modified in pregnancy, Lydia shares her own birth experience and how these situations could be handled with actual compassion, and Thomas holds very still in hopes our eyes are based on movement (just kidding, Thomas is very supportive and also outraged). Come rage against the machine with us and hopefully breathe life into a revived pro-choice movement, before it's too late. Amy Yurkanin (Mar. 14, 2026), They Didn't Want to Have C-Sections.
