In the first episode of What the Midwife Said, Leah chats to adventurer, author, mischief maker and Girl Guiding ambassador Anna McNuff about how she's putting her daredevil lifestyle on hold ahead of the birth of her first child.

Anna explains how she's preparing for the birth of her daughter with fellow extreme athlete and partner Jamie, and she talks about the pressure of becoming a mum and a role model for her child.
