The Better Birth podcast - the "little things" that derail birth with doula Georgie

"just hop on the bed"
"I'll be back in 10 mins to monitor baby"
"I can't hear baby well so we'll just pop on this CTG"...
They're common occurrences in a hospital birth, but even the most well prepared birther can have their birth re-railed by seemingly innocuous circumstances. I chat to doula Georgie about the common things that can derail your plans for a vaginal birth if you're planning to birth in hospital.
Georgie is doula in Oxfordshire, who home educates he rtwo older children and has a new baby. She fell into being a doula because she loves information sharing, and discussing both evidence and intuition about pregnancy, birth, post partum and parenting with families.

Really helpful conversation thank you. I'm 37 weeks and I will have my hypnobirthing hat on ! But just around the baby heart monitoring and CTG, what do you think is the best course of action for this? Could you ask for it to be done intermittently ? I'm in for a hospital birth too first baby and I am nervous. My husband will be able to advocate for me and went to the classes too... it's just nerve wracking and I hate feeling like it's a fight before I even get there.
