What actually happens in an induction? - with midwife, Beth

In our 175th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with the beautiful Beth Ryan from @birthwithbeth_. Beth is a midwife and founder of PowerBirth online courses and today she talks to us all about inductions! We hope you enjoy!!! 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? Cascade of intervention – what does that mean and is it a legitimate thing? Is the negative stigma surrounding inductions justified? And so MUCH MORE?   Resource links: Birthwithbeth.com.au Follow Beth on Instagram @birthwithbeth_ Take Beth’s online birth course PowerBirth Take Beth’s online Positive Induction of Labour course   Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce!
