Show Notes
In this episode of What the Midwife Said, Leah compares medical notes with NHS Dr Anita Mitra, who specialises in obstetrics and gynaecology, and is better known to some as the author of The Gynae Geek: Your No-nonsense Guide to ‘down there’ Healthcare.
Leah and Anita cover night shift social media use, deadlifting weights + the very real challenges medical professionals face on the labour ward every day when it comes to delivering newborns safely.
