In the final episode of the first series of What the Midwife Said, Leah picks the brain of Sunday Times bestselling author, speaker, novelist and podcaster Emma Gannon to find out about her debut novel, Olive, and why she and her book's main character are staying child-free by choice.
Leah and Emma talk about why the decision not to have kids should be celebrated, and explore why that can be tough to accept for some people.
