I’m Mel (a.k.a Melanie the Midwife) a Midwife, mother, academic and podcast host. I've been a private Midwife in Australia for over 16 years and support women as their Midwife through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum. In addition to this I have an academic research background and an eye and ear for research.
Completing a PhD in midwifery, supporting mothers and having 2 home births of my own has highlighted the stark difference between what women want, what evidence shows and what the mainstream maternity care system is offering. Maternity services simply don't match womens or evidence standards
My mission is simple... I am Dedicated to helping you use pregnancy, birth and postpartum research to make informed decisions.
