On today's episode, Georgia has the help of The Modern Midwife to answer your questions, that everyone wants to ask and almost nobody says out loud: will I poo myself during labour? She explains what really happens in the birthing room, why midwives have seen it all before, and how to feel more prepared and less anxious about the big day. Whether you’re expecting your first or you just want to know what nobody told you last time, this one’s for you. Got a question for a future Q&A? Send it our way. We’d love to hear from you.
