This episode is a part of the homebirth around the World Series.
In this episode, I chat with Renee, a community midwife or a ‘LMC’ on the North Island of Aotearoa ‘New Zealand’.
I was really excited to chat with Renee as New Zealand is often looked up to in terms of its midwifery care and homebirth access. Renee shares her journey to becoming a midwife and how the system works in Aotearoa. We cover homebirth rates and access, the challenges, risks and a bit about funding.
