The Undercover Midwife: October 2015
http://undercovermidwife.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 24 October 2015. Comfortable Upright Birth (CUB). Http:/ www.cub-support.com/. I love the animation on this site and coming across a piece of useful gear at a reasonable price. Also a great resource list for any midwifery student doing a project on birth positions. I think an inflatable support like this will have limited appeal to many units (over and above birth balls for labour and solid birth stools for birth) but a great thing for homebirths.

Friday, 15 July 2016. Relationships: the pathway to safe, high-quality maternity care.

Monday, 30 May 2016. Holly McNish's "Nobody Told Me". If there is anyone out there who reads this blog but who hasn't read this account (in poetry and prose) of the experience of having one's first child, please do get hold of a copy and enjoy the trip. It took me straight back into that mad tired raw world of pregnancy and early parenthood like no other account I have ever read. An absolute (slightly weepy) joy to read.
