Changing Childbirth 28 Aug 2006
In the year of Woman's Hour's 60th Anniversary, and the 50th Anniversary of the National Childbirth Trust, we look at how childbirth has changed. Have we come full circle from home births assisted by midwives - to hospital births presided over by doctors - back to 'natural' births in birthing centres?

Jenni will be examining whether things really have improved for women or whether they are facing even greater pressures than before, with childbirth expert and author Sheila Kitzinger, who's latest book is Birth Crisis and Professor Lesley Regan, Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington.
