Childbirth isn't for the faint-hearted at the best of times, let alone in the medieval period. 


What was a birthing room like at this time in history? Who would have been in there helping bring a new baby into the world? And how suspicious were the church of these all-women spaces?


Joining Kate today is the always-fabulous Eleanor Janega, co-host of our sister podcast Gone Medieval, to take us back to this time and place. 


This episode was edited by Tom Delargy. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
