S1 EP22: Vaginal examinations with guest Sarah Fitzsimmons (My Independent Midwives)

In this episode of Talk Birthy With Us we welcome our lovely guest Sarah Fitzsimmons - one half of My Independent Midwives. Sarah supports families through her independent midwifery services & specialises in supporting families to birth outside of guidelines. Sarah talks to us about vaginal examinations - the history of them & how practice surrounding exams has changed over time, why you may or may not want to accept exams, what information may or may not come from a VE, risks, benefits & so much more! Defo worth a listen if you’re preparing to birth with assistance. We catch up on this week’s adventures as we were both supporting in the birth space this week! Sarah throws something new in the Boss Bitch Bin for us this week.
