The Birth Experience with Labor Nurse Mama

Today we are breaking down getting induced. We talk about medical and elective induction.You have a choice mama. You do not have to be induced if there is not medical indication. Being past due is not legit unless there is something else going on that makes out safer than in.I am all about you making choices for your plan of care. Do not make emotional choices. Ask for time to think, and unless there is an emergent reason, this is reasonable.Resources:Join the Calm Mama Membership:  labornursemama.com/cmsLeave a review and include your Instagram username for a chance to win our monthly raffle!Dates Recipe ReelTake our FREE BIRTH WORKSHOP HERE!!Ready to be empowered & Prepared for Birth, Take a Birth Class NOW!Grab a Free Pregnancy Checklist Bundle + Weekly EducationConnect w/ Trish: Come hang with Trish on InstagramFor more pregnancy & birth education, subscribe to The Birth Experience on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Privacy Policy!Next Steps with LNM:If you are ready to invest in your pregnancy & postpartum journey, you are in the right place.
