With upwards of 30% of pregnant women in Australia having an induction of labour I believe it is essential to understand how to navigate an induction. Some reports show that this statistic is even higher - with 45% of selected women having their first baby having an induction of labour (AIHW, 2020). In some circumstances an induction of labour can absolutely be beneficial for a mum and/or baby - but how do you know if your induction is being offered for a medical reason or not? What questions do you need to ask to ensure you have all the information? And if you do decide to have an induction, what are your options and choices? What can you do to support your body (and baby!) through the process? Today's episode covers these topics and more! * My Navigating an Induction Online Masterclass is now live!* Click here to join the Masterclass. In this Online Masterclass I cover: What an induction of labour actually is. Different induction methods (medications and procedures).How an induction of labour differs from spontaneous onset of labour. The risks and benefits of an induction. Important questions to ask before proceeding with an induction. Your options and choices during your induction. PLUS I will share my tips for having a positive induction (because sometimes inductions really are needed!).This Masterclass is only $47 and is such great preparation for your birth!
