One in three women are now being induced. And most of them are going into it without the full picture.


In this episode, I'm joined by doula and childbirth educator, Carly Sandland, to talk about one of the most important conversations in modern maternity care.


  • Why the due date isn't actually evidence-based and where it came from
  • The difference between absolute and relative risk
  • How to make sure induction is the right path for you
  • The importance of knowing your options and the alternatives to induction
  • Why asking for your 'bishop score' matters
  • How to make an induction a positive, empowering experience
  • Ways to keep the oxytocin flowing throughout the process
