Mum's The Word

Why do women give birth while lying on their backs? In this first episode of “Mum’s the Word,” Judy and Marissa explore this question as they discuss the history of birthing positions and the medicalization of childbirth. This is the first episode of a series that investigates the impact of technology (for better or for worse) on the experience of pregnancy throughout history and today.
