Journalist Rosie Taylor visits the Royal College of Midwives' annual conference in Newport, Wales, to find out what midwives think about the what's going on with postnatal care in the UK. She speaks to midwife Lia Brigante, the RCM's quality and standards advisor, about why postnatal care is still seen as the "Cinderella" of midwifery, why midwives aren't able to provide as much care to mothers as they would like to at the moment - and what we can do about it.

On the Mother Bodies podcast, Rosie is on a mission to find out why postnatal health is still so overlooked and to uncover the biases and inequalities which mean women so often don’t get the care, support or treatment they need after having a baby. She speaks to fascinating guests about their personal stories of recovery after birth, how the politics of postnatal health affects us all - and the big ideas which could change mothers' lives for the better.
