Such is the appetite for telling and hearing stories of birth that a research project open to submissions has already drawn more engagement in just three weeks than any previous study.

According to Professor Hannah Dahlen, one of the country’s most experienced midwifery researchers and teachers, nearly one-third of women say they have regrets about how their birth played out, one-third felt unhappy about the process and one in five felt pressured to have a medical intervention, “something they didn’t want”.
