A personal story of birth, burnout and breaking the barriers of modern maternity care.
Amity Reed became a midwife to serve women, but the reality of working in over-stretched and underfunded NHS maternity services soon shattered her illusions. She’s not alone – for every 30 midwives that train, 29 will leave the profession. Overdue is both the devastating personal story behind the statistics, and a call for change in the NHS. Real-life stories capture the moments at the heart of midwifery: life, death, birth, tragedy and joy, and are embedded in a clear-sighted examination of what is working – and what isn’t – in maternity services. The result is a book that asks – and tries to answer – questions that are at the heart of many people’s working lives: how can we follow our calling, provide for our families and keep ourselves healthy, if the workplace and its systems are working against us?

Amity Reed is a US native who has lived in the UK for nearly 20 years. Originally a journalist and editor, she has been a birth worker for over a decade, during which time she has campaigned for women’s health and reproductive rights. Amity qualified as a midwife in 2016 and worked in NHS maternity services for three years. She currently works in a family planning clinic in South London, where she lives with her husband and two children.
