12. Preparing Mothers For Birth - with private midwife Jane Palmer

Jane Palmer has been a private midwife located in Sydney, Australia for over 28 years with the majority of her midwifery practice has been outside of the hospital system, supporting women birthing at home. In June 2021 Jane has stopped attending births, however, with additional qualifications as a childbirth educator and lactation consultant, Jane continues to provide antenatal care, childbirth education, postnatal care and lactation services all over Sydney and the world through her online services.

In this chat we delve deeper into so many topics around  "the importance of preparing mothers for birth".  We both agreed there is simply not enough empowering conversation and information being shared for women to listen to and be excited for birth.
