Angie’s been a midwife in Heddington, Wiltshire for the last twelve years. In this episode, she discusses the complications that climate change can have for pregnant women. Air pollution and increasing temperatures can complicate the physiological changes that women go through both in pregnancy and in labour; increasing the risk of infection, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and hypertension. She reflects on her own experience with the recent flooding in Heddington, how extreme weather has the potential to make access to safe healthcare an issue, and her fears about the future for her daughters.
