Episode 36 - Male Midwife James shares his story of supporting physiological birth

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, I am speaking to James, a male midwife who is a true inspiration to so many birth keepers.James has a real passion to support pregnant women and people through physiological childbirth, and he shares with us his story, of how he always wanted to be a midwife from a very young age - and his journey to fulfilling that dream.  He now works in rural Wales, where the service is midwife-led only. With no hospitals close by, families in his care are offered the opportunity to give birth with local midwives in attendance, either at home or in a stand-alone Midwifery Led Unit (MLU).  This model of 'continuity of carer' means that these families are able to achieve physiological birth more easily, with the level of support that the midwives offer, and transfer rates are low.You can follow James on Instagram @james_the_midwife If you would like to buy a copy of the book that accompanies this podcast - click here:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner — https://bit.ly/LabourofloveOr purchase a copy via my website - www.birthability.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner @birthabilityBook a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann  -  https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresfordPlease remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guest, based on his own experiences as a midwife.  Any recommendations made may not be suitable for all women so listeners must do their own research before making decisions.  If you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.
