Midwife and author Leah Hazard speaks to journalist Rosie Taylor about why immense pressures on midwifery services mean women and birthing people don't always get the postnatal care they deserve - and why a health baby isn't "all that matters". Leah also talks about how her own birth experiences inspired her to become a midwife and her upcoming book about the body's most miraculous organ: the womb.

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.
