Independent Midwife Exposes What’s Really Happening in UK Birth Care

In this episode, I sit down with independent midwife Daisy Kelly to talk honestly about the reality of giving birth in the UK today. Daisy shares why intervention rates are rising, why so many women leave birth feeling traumatised, and what’s really happening inside maternity care from someone who has worked both in the NHS and independently.We discuss informed consent, continuity of care, racial disparities, and how women can better advocate for themselves. Daisy also explains what healing after a difficult birth can look like and the support available.A powerful conversation for anyone preparing for birth or trying to understand their own experience.Daisy Kelly:www.mamasanctuary.co.ukwww.instagram.com/mama_sanctuary⁠Other Links:neighbourhooddoulas.orgfivexmore.orgwww.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/about-tommys-pregnancy-information/video-call-serviceJoin our Community: https://squigglymotherhood.substack.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/squigglymotherhoodTiktok: https://tiktok.com/@squigglymotherhoodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/squigglymotherhoodIf you've got thoughts, questions, comments or feedback you can email me at [email protected] you've enjoyed the episode and would like to support me, buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/squigglymotherhoodHello Fresh Discount: https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/freebox/MzMxMTU1MzY1LTAtNC0xMS1HQg
