We interviewed Australian Midwife Dr Melanie Jackson and asked her:
- How to have a safe, empowered birth during the pandemic.
- How women can best prepare to birth during Convid-19
- What to do if your birth plans need to change suddenly
- Your rights as a birthing woman in hospital
- How to ensure hospital policies don't interrupt your birth flow.
- Why it is hard to make decisions during labour and how to prepare your support people to communicate your needs.
We also talked about our own birth stories, why each woman's birth choices (home, hospital, free birth etc) need to be respected regardless of what they are, and just generally got inspired by the power and sacredness of birth.
