Tea & Toast: Talking Birth
This podcast aims to discuss and muse a different birth topic every month, with our hosts, who collectively have over 80 years of midwifery experience. For some episodes we will be inviting special guests to contribute towards our conversation.
We do not intend any of our discussions to act as medical advice, and all of our considerations are merely our own thoughts and feelings on that particular subject, utilising our collective experience and knowledge. Our aim is to bring together the wider community of birth, combining clinical experience with the felt experience in a hope to demystify pregnancy and birth, and share information and evidence.
Please visit our Instagram TeaandToastTalkingBirth or Tweet us @birth_tea with your thoughts, comments or suggestions for future shows.
