Ep. 146: What to know about Inductions with Becca Helie, CNM

Author: HeHe Stewart November 10, 2020 Duration: 1:00:49
Inductions are one of the most common interventions when it comes to birthing a baby. Some people welcome inductions, and some want to avoid it at all cost! Today,  I am joined by Certified Nurse Midwife, Becca Helie, to discuss inductions, the methods in which you can be induced, and how to evaluate the risks and benefits of each option. Becca and I are going to dive into 'failed inductions,' too. Did you know that you may go in for an induction and not leave with a baby? Meaning that your body was not receptive to being induced, so it 'failed.' This is *NOT* a reason for an automatic c-section!!! If you are headed into an induction, this is an episode that you will not want to miss!  Connect with Becca on IG: @becca_helie_cnm   To learn more ways to take control of your birth experience: www.thebirthlounge.com
