    Birth in Sweden: Danielle and My

    Is Sweden really the "gold standard" for giving birth? In our series premiere, we'll go inside a Swedish maternity ward and discuss the midwife-led model of care, the reality of free healthcare, and how the system handles everything from pain relief to postnatal support. In this episode we'll hear from My, a midwife working in Sweden, and Danielle, a recent immigrant to the country. Whether you're an expat in Stockholm or just curious about global birth trends, join us for an honest look at the pros, the cons, and the cultural beliefs surrounding birth in Sweden.
