S5 Ep 16 - interventions in birth with midwife Laura Green

What is a medical intervention? Why are they offered? Are they necessary? And how can we minimise the risk of being offered them in labour? I chat to midwife Laura Green about common medical interventions, ranging from sweeps to induction, and why informed decision decision making is so crucial.
