It's been a year since the ABC launched The Birth Project as we explored childbirth (and beyond) in Australia. We ended up with nearly 4,000 submissions from all over the country, which were often lengthy and heartfelt. Many were written from a place of sadness and disappointment, but there were also entries that told of positive experiences. In this frank conversation, Nas and Sophie try to answer some of the most common concerns around maternity care.
