Inductions & Supporting the Birth Process with Misty Gant
Whether you have chosen to be induced or your doctor has brought up the possibility, understanding the options you have within that space is different than navigating a spontaneous birth. The induction process is a sped up version of spontaneous labor. But physiologically, the same things are happening. This session is all about how can you support your induction process.
Misty will guide you through:
+ An overview of the typical stages of an induction
+ Terms and their definitions surrounding inductions
+ The benefits and risks connected to different induction methods
+ The options you have within the induction process
+ How to support your birth progression
+ Tips on advocating for your birth - even in an induction you still have a say!
What’s included:
+ Link to watch course (54 minutes)
