About the episode

Midwife Cath Curtin explores the impact our expectation for "a perfect birth" has on our birth experience and self-esteem. Do we unconsciously set ourselves up for failure? Join Cath as she breaks down our fantasies around child birth with the realities of what we can expect behind the curtain. A discussion unlocking the minutia of everything from the cervix and how it dilates, epidurals, types of birth, the baby straight after birth, bonding, skin to skin and breast feeding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
