A midwife, who featured in the Channel 4 documentary One Born Every Minute, says there is one big thing every woman should know before she gives birth.
Lesley Gilchrist, co-founder of My Expert Midwife, says that many women don't realise that they always have a choice during every step of birth and consent is required for every procedure.
Due to fear or uncertainty, many women feel they have to go along with whatever they are told during labour and birth, but in fact they are always free to make whatever choices they are most comfortable with.
