Episode 62: The Truth About Maternal Mortality
22 januari 2026 · 25 min
*Trigger Warning* This episode discusses upsetting themes such as maternal death, please do decide if this is the right time for you to listen. However, we do hope that the discussion is not only useful but also reassuring. Lees meer
In this episode of The Birth Uprising Podcast, we unpack a conversation that many people are understandably scared to touch. Maternal mortality rates are increasing, yet the information being shared with pregnant people is often partial, simplified, or framed in a way that limits genuine informed consent.
We talk openly about the reality that caesarean birth is associated with a significantly higher risk of maternal death, including research showing up to a six-fold increase compared to vaginal birth. Crucially, we explore how this information is rarely shared when caesarean birth is positioned as the “safer” or “more controlled” option, particularly in non-emergency situations.
We also discuss the rapid rise in caesarean rates across the UK, with some areas reporting figures as high as 70 percent in certain months and many trusts now sitting at around 50 percent as standard. We question how these rates have become normalised, what systemic pressures are influencing decision-making, and how fear-based narratives around birth safety shape the choices parents feel able to make.
This episode is not about judging individual decisions or blaming parents or clinicians. It is about context, transparency, and autonomy, and the growing gap between what is known in the evidence and what is routinely communicated in maternity care.
This conversation was sparked by an Instagram reel shared by Tracy, whose content opened the door to discussing why nuance matters so much when we talk about maternal safety and birth outcomes. You can find Tracy on Instagram here:

Episode 61: When the System Says ‘High Risk’ But Your Gut Says You’re Fine
22 oktober 2025 · 1 uur 6 min
This week on The Birth Uprising Podcast, Jade and Alix are back after a little break — and they’re diving straight into one of the biggest sources of fear and confusion in pregnancy: what happens when your “low risk” label suddenly turns “high risk.” Lees meer
If you’ve ever sat in an appointment and heard the words “we’ll need to induce you” or “your baby’s measuring big” and felt your heart drop — this one’s for you.
We talk about:
Why “low risk” and “high risk” are pretty meaningless labels in the real world.
How policies (and panic) vary wildly depending on your hospital, your postcode, and sometimes even your midwife.
How to spot when you’re being managed by policy versus genuine medical need.
Why big babies get such a bad rep — and the truth about “shoulder dystocia” and scan accuracy.
The importance of listening to your gut and remembering that you are the expert on your own body.
How to handle conversations with healthcare professionals (and what to say when they throw scary stats or “policy” at you).
Why it’s okay to ask for time, a second opinion, or to say no altogether.
How your mindset can be the most powerful birth prep tool you’ve got.
This episode is funny, fiery, and absolutely packed with the straight-talking reassurance every pregnant person needs. Whether you’re currently being told your risk status has changed, or you just want to go into birth knowing your rights — listen to this before your next appointment.
You’ve got this.

Episode 45: The Biomechanics of Birth with Sally Scott from @the.pregnancy.chiropractor
17 januari 2025 · 56 min
In this episode, we are joined by Sally Scott, aka The Pregnancy Chiropractor, to explore the fascinating world of biomechanics in birth. We dive into how physical preparation during pregnancy can have a massive impact on birth outcomes. Lees meer
Together, we discuss the crucial role of chiropractic care in addressing common challenges like breech and transverse positions, the importance of optimal fetal positioning, and how movement and bodywork can support a smoother labour and birth.
This episode shines a light on the historical context of birth practices, the loss of traditional knowledge, and why reconnecting with instinctive, ancient practices can enhance the birthing experience. Sally also emphasises the need for more education and awareness around maternal health, advocating for proactive and informed choices as well as practicing hypnobirthing, to help parents take control of their birth journeys.
🎧 Listen now—because understanding your body and its biomechanics can be a total game-changer for your birth experience.

Episode 44: Navigating Induction with Erin Fung from @betterbirthuk
10 januari 2025 · 1 uur 3 min
In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of induction in childbirth with Erin Fung from Better Birth. Together, we unpack the rising rates of unnecessary inductions and the impact they can have on both the birthing person and their baby. Lees meer
We discuss how coercive tactics, fear-based practices, and inconsistent maternity care policies—often influenced by a postcode lottery—strip birthing individuals of their autonomy. Erin, Jade, and Alix shine a light on the importance of informed decision-making, understanding the risks and benefits of induction methods, and exploring all available alternatives.
We also talk about how to navigate an induction process confidently by seeking second opinions, asking questions, doing hypnobirthing and creating a birth plan that aligns with your preferences. From understanding the evidence (or lack of it) behind certain policies to preparing for possible outcomes, this conversation is all about empowering you with knowledge and options.
Whether you’re preparing for birth or simply curious about how induction practices affect maternity care, this episode is packed with insights, practical tips, and encouragement to advocate for what’s best for you and your baby.
🎧 Listen now—because birth isn’t just a moment; it’s the start of a lifetime.
