Our guest  is Milli Hill, founder of the Positve Birth Movement, Milli set up the Positive Birth Movement from her living room in 2012, motivated by both her own birth experiences, and her growing frustration whenever she heard the words, "They didn't let me" in a birth story. She has since gone on to become a well recognised voice for women in the birth world, writing extensively in the mainstream press (BestDaily, Telegraph, Guardian) and apearing at various confrences and talks. She has three small children and lives in Somerset.
The positive birth movement is a grass roots movement, spreading positivity about childbirth via a global network of free Positive Birth groups, linked up by social media.
​

What began in 2012 as one small meeting in the living room of writer and campaigner Milli Hill, is now a global network of over 450 'real life' groups, with a massive social media presence too.

And they just keep on growing. They think this is because they break down the walls that the so-called 'birth wars' try to build between women.  They don't hold any one kind of birth up above another. They are  just concerned with every woman getting the best possible birth experience, for her, on that day.

​About the positive Birth Movement -
The positive birth movement are a grass roots movement, spreading positivity about childbirth via a global network of free Positive Birth groups, linked up by social media.
What began in 2012 as one small meeting in the living room of writer and campaigner Milli Hill, is now a global network of over 300 'real life' groups, with a massive social media presence too.

And they just keep on growing. They think this is because they break down the walls that the so-called 'birth wars' try to build between women.  They don't hold any one kind of birth up above another. They are  just concerned with every woman getting the best possible birth experience, for her, on that day.
About Milli:
Milli Hill is the Founder and Director of the positive birth movement.
Milli set up the Positive Birth Movement in 2013 and has since run it from her laptop whilst her three small children sit on her arms. She is passionate about positive birth as a human right for all women and campaigns and speaks on this issue in the media and at high profile conferences and events. She is a Columnist for Telegraph Women and the author of The Positive Birth Book. Milli lives in Somerset and is happy to be contacted on 077 391 391 15 or via info@positivebirthmovement.org.

About The Positive Birth Book:
Work out what kind of birth you really want, and learn how to maximise your chances of getting it, in this refreshing, warm and witty guide to pregnancy, birth and the early weeks. Packed with vital and cutting-edge information on everything from building the ultimate birth plan, to your choices and rights in the birth room; from optimal cord clamping, to seeding the microbiome; from the inside track on breastfeeding, to woman-centred caesarean, The Positive Birth Book shows you how to have the best possible birth, regardless of whether you plan to have your baby in hospital, in the birth centre, at home or by elective caesarean. Find out how the environment you give birth in, your mindset and your expectations can influence the kind of birth you have, and be inspired by the voices of real women, who tell you the truth about what giving birth really feels like.
For people listening in today or if you have friends or family  with unresolved birth trauma, no matter how long ago, there are birth trauma specific resources such as  birthtalk.org, birthing from within, and PANDA.org.au which are dedicate to supporting women, birthers and their families.
