- Beth talks about her online course, Positive Induction of Labour, and why she decided to put it together
- What is an induction? And would a stretch and sweep be considered one?
- What are the most common reasons that people will get induced?
- Can you get induced for a VBAC?
- What about big babies? What questions should we be asking if we are being recommended to have an induction due to the size of our bub?
- Can you just opt for an induction for any reason?
- Are there different types of inductions?
- Is induction more painful than natural contractions?
- Is there benefit after you get your waters broken, waiting a while to see if that puts you into labour?
- If we want an epidural, at what point in the induction process is it recommended?
- Once the drip is up and we're in established labour, can the drip then be turned off?
- Do you have to have continuous monitoring with an induction?
