Summary

I'm taking a little time of to reset and recharge so enjoy this fan favorite rebroadcast episode on labor induction!

I covered this topic 3 years ago and there is new information in this updated episode. I get a lot of requests to talk about this and I get why. It’s one of those topics that makes a lot of pregnant people nervous. You may have heard horror stories about induction and pitocin. Plus there’s concern about the cascade of interventions or increasing the risk for c-section - so I get it. And on today’s episode I will answer your questions and shed some light on what labor induction is all about!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-What labor induction is

-Why labor may be induced (you’ll be surprised to hear that there are only 2 reasons)

-When induction is NOT appropriate

-How labor is induced and the efficacy of different methods

-What constitutes a failed induction

-Which questions to ask before being induced

0:00.0	Today's episode is an updated episode on a topic I get a lot of questions about and that
0:06.8	causes a lot of anxiety. Labor induction.
0:15.8	Welcome to the All About Pregnancy and Birth Podcast.

0:54.7	This week's episode is a rebroadcast of a fan favorite episode. It's on Labor Induction. And the
1:02.8	reason it's a rebroadcast and not a new episode is because I'm taking a week or so off to
1:09.0	relax, unplug, connect, and reset. I'll delete all the social media
1:15.6	apps off my phone. I'll set an out-of-office email responder, and I actually will not check
1:21.6	either social media nor email. Instead, I will be spending some time with my family, spending some time with myself.
1:30.9	I've done this every year for the past three or so years, and it's been invaluable to help me be in a better place and come back to the regular grind of life and work in a more balanced and healthy way. So if you've never taken this kind of
1:47.0	social media or email break before, I highly encourage you to try it. It is so, so worth it.
1:54.2	Now, of course, listening to podcast is not off limits during a break. So enjoy this episode
