How to Speed Up Labour Naturally with Midwife Beth

In this episode I’m joined by midwife and mum of four Beth from The Bump to Baby Chapter to talk about one of the most common questions I get asked: how to speed up labour.

We explore what can slow labour down, what can help it progress, baby positioning, biomechanics, oxytocin, cervical dilation and the difference between trying to force labour and creating the right conditions for it to flow.

A really practical and reassuring conversation for anyone preparing for birth.
