Hard Pushed: A Midwife's Story by Leah Hazard

5.0

A brilliant insight into the work of an NHS midwife. The beginning reels you in as she explains doing an episiotomy, which honestly made my stomach contort.

It's packed full of stories about patients; from a seventeen year old Chinese girl who is a victim of human trafficking to a lady who has experienced FGM and everything in between.

An eye opening read about the struggles of working long, gruelling hours, trying not to make any mistakes in a hospital that is oversubscribed and understaffed.
