This was a video I made to illustrate a bad midwife consultation I once witnessed as a student midwife.

The key points to note are:

• The use of language, "sweetie", "pet", "love", "naughty baby"
• The lack of informed consent & explanation of the term 'breech'
• The lack of empowerment of the woman
• The lack of partnership with the woman and no shared decision making
• The lack of offering to advocate for the woman and visit the obstetrician with her

Have a watch and see what you think.
