Labour of love : a midwife's stories of birth, life and speaking up for women
Campbell, Oceane2025
Book
From her first days as a junior nursing student thrown into a delivery room, through to birthing babies during strict lockdown measures, Labour of Love follows midwife Oceane Campbell as she finds the courage to stand up to doctors, advocate for mothers, catch and save babies, and grieve, celebrate and soothe new parents. We're there as Oceane goes through her own experiences of IVF, miscarriage and birth, as she makes mistakes, learns weird and wonderful things about the pregnant body, and every day witnesses the most transformative, intensely personal and absolutely mind-blowing moment of a person's life. Labour of Love explores the issues of consent, risk, misogyny and autonomy that women face as they go through the monumental transition from woman to mother. This is a warm, deeply human and powerfully feminist book about a truly unique job and the way it impacts so many of us.
