Understanding Elective Inductions and the ARRIVE Trial

Understanding Elective Inductions and the ARRIVE Trial

Author: Liesel Teen December 4, 2023 Duration: 24:01

Inductions are a hot topic in the labor and delivery world! There is a lot of information floating around (both positive and negative), and it seems like every person has their own, differing opinion. 

And I would venture to say that a lot of people get a sour taste in their mouth when they hear the word induction. But I am here to tell you that it's possible to have a positive and uncomplicated birth experience with an induction. Trust me mama, I see it happen all the time!

In this episode, I will spend some time exploring the ARRIVE Trial with you and will also cover the pros and cons of induction vs. spontaneous labor.
