Milli Hill is an absolute powerhouse in the birth world and her books are a testament to that. We chat about encouraging women to think about their births and creating a birth plan, power imbalances, obstetric violence, #metoo in birth and bodily autonomy. We chat further about feminism and the messages we as women receive about our bodies and the shame around women’s bodies and how it starts right from menstruation. Milli opens up about her experience being “cancelled” after questioning arising blanket terms like “birthing people” in maternity care and the importance of keeping sex based language in women’s health. Milli advocates for the importance to continue recognising sex based oppression, sex based language and the current healthcare gaps in maternity + women’s healthcare.
Milli Hill is the author of The Positive Birth Book, Give Birth Like a Feminist and My Period.
