In the first episode of our special Midwife Series, Cocooned Health co-hosts, Dr Eliz Kilich and Dr Lydia Yarlott, are joined by three experienced midwives to explore one of the most important conversations in maternity care: discussing vaccines during pregnancy.

Drawing on insights from UK real-world midwife professionals working on the frontline, this episode examines how vaccine conversations take place in practice, the challenges faced, and the opportunities to better support both healthcare professionals and pregnant women.

Our guests share their perspectives on discussing maternal vaccinations, navigating questions and concerns, building trust, and balancing these important conversations within busy clinical appointments. Together, we explore what helps midwives feel confident when discussing vaccines and what practical tools could make these conversations easier and more effective.

This fascinating conversation highlights the vital role midwives play in supporting informed choices and protecting the health of mothers and babies.
