Episode 3 - Due dates

Listen to this episode from The Great Birth Rebellion on Spotify. Everything you need to know about your due date and what happens if you go over it. We talk about the shortfalls of 'estimated due dates' and the importance of knowing your due date in a world where 'post-dates' pregnancy is taboo. Mel also discusses how women who go beyond 41 weeks of pregnancy are cared for by the system and navigates the pressure that women feel to have an induction of labour.  Get more from the Great Birth Rebellion Podcast Join the podcast mailing list to access the resource folder from each episode at www.melaniethemidwife.com  Join the rebellion and show your support!
