Midwife Laura: “It was very difficult to see the key principles of midwifery being eroded”

Laura Godfrey-Isaacs was working as a community midwife when the pandemic hit in March 2020. She shares her experience of having to adapt to ever-changing rules, the difficulties of working as a community midwife from home, plus dealing with her own personal worries following a breast cancer diagnosis. We also talk about the power of journaling throughout pregnancy and afterwards and about her brilliant resource, Maternal Journal.
