Early labour

In this episode Rachel takes us into the world of ‘early labour’.
She’s been promising it for a long while, and here it is. Get
your lug’ols around this one! 


In this episode we discuss:


·      What’s going on physiologically during this
phase of childbirth


·      Beta endorphins and how they work for us
during labour


·      The neocortex and what is so important
about this part of our brain as we birth


·      Why women in early labour who attend the
maternity unit are often sent back home


·      Early labour and the maternity system 


·      How early labour interventions can be
prevented


·      We discuss birthing babies into your
tights!


·      And whether we can ever fully prepare women
with prenatal education
