Sara Randall

This article is to summarise key concepts for the health of the midwife, with particular focus on constipation. This is often a taboo subject even amongst women whi aren't midwives, so they do not always freely discuss the issue. It is a key discussion when talking through iron supplementation, hormonal changes and nutrition within the realm of the midwife. Raising awareness and taking care of your own bowel habits is key to enjoying future health and wellbeing.
