About the Midwife and the OB

Can a doctor and a midwife get along? Or at least respectfully disagree on important issues surrounding pregnancy and birth?

Listen in on these honest conversations between friends as they tackle topics in pregnancy and birth that are often divisive.

  1. Thank you for this. I’m midwife in Australia in the process of being terminated for non compliance. This episode was healing for me and I felt a part of a community just by listening. 100% felt like you verbalised my feelings at a time when I’m broken and considering the path ahead. Thank you ❤️
