What No One Tells You About Induction When You’re Pregnant

It's time to talk about the controversial and highly nuanced topic of induction! This podcast episode discusses induction of labor, a procedure to kickstart birth.

I've got the induction guru herself- childbirth educator, Vanessa, on talking about the reasons why inductions happen and the risks associated with them.

Here are the key points covered in this juicy episode:

  • Why is induction done? 

  • Are there risks? 

  • What about informed consent? 

  • What are some alternatives?

  • What's the deal with the very popular 39 week induction?

Find and follow Vanessa on IG for tons of evidence-based birth info and support!
