My life as a midwife on the frontline
Anna Kent has delivered babies in warzones, the aftermath of disasters and refugee camps - experiences which would profoundly change her and shape her own journey to motherhood.

Please be warned that this programme contains disturbing descriptions of baby loss. These are an important picture of what some pregnant women and medical practitioners have to face in difficult conditions but some listeners will find this distressing.
