Labour induction is one of the most common interventions in maternity care, yet it's also one of the topics many parents feel least prepared for.
If your care provider has mentioned induction, you're approaching your due date, or you're simply curious about what happens if labour doesn't start on its own, this new blog post is worth a read.
Inside, I cover:
• What labour induction is
• Common reasons it may be recommended
• Potential benefits and risks
• The different methods used to induce labour
• What the Bishop's Score is and why it matters
• Questions you may want to ask before making decisions
Understanding your options doesn't mean you need to have all the answers right now. It simply helps you feel more informed and confident if the conversation ever comes up.
Head over to the Labour & Birth section (in the classroom) and have a read.
I'd love to know... had you heard of the Bishop's Score before today?
