S3 Ep3: Say "No" to the Medicalisation of Your Birth with Kemi Johnson

In this very special podcast, we hear from Kemi Johnson about her experiences as a former NHS and former Independent Midwife in the UK.  Kemi is passionate about her role as an experienced birth keeper and asks people to question the care they are receiving. She wants you to expect more, to ask questions and to say “no”.  For those who are not familiar with her amazing social media you are in for an awakening.  If you have always believed that medically managed birth is the safest, this may give you a new perspective.  This episode is going to be a conversation starter for sure!  https://www.kemibirthjoyjohnson.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kemibirthjoyjohnson/?utm_medium=copy_link Kemi references: - Lancet report 2019 and 2020  https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(20)30063-8/fulltex https://www.midwiferytoday.com/mt-articles/preventing-complications-nutrition/ https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1001670 Kemi’s Top Tips Birth is not a medical event, have your baby at home Prepare your body for birth with the right nutrition Prepare your body with the right movement - stay active  Antenatal care - is it "antenatal grooming” setting the scene for pathologising birth Be Empowered and supported by your Partner/Mother/Loved ones  BONUS - Give birth with people that respect and trust you
