In today's episode I speak with Melbourne based Midwife Matilda Westhead about her unique journey into midwifery thus far. We discuss some of the challenges that midwives in Melbourne have faced working throughout a global pandemic as well as talking about some of the effects that this has had in hospital for the women and her family. Matilda also offers some of her own helpful advice on how to best prepare for giving birth.
Like always Mon's aim in this episode is to educate you about this topic but also always encourages you to seek your own medical advice from your healthcare provider.
