The time between knowing an induction is a possible / likely outcome and the birth itself - is about so much more than trying to establish labour naturally.

It is about supporting the outcome no matter which path is eventually taken. It's about realising that for women who find themselves in this position, the desired outcome isn't necessarily to go into labour naturally, but having an empowering birth experience.

Now with many years of these treatments under my belt and my own 42 week gestation birth induction story, I can say. Absolutely - a birth that's induced for true medical need can be a sacred and empowering experience.

Birthing my daughter taught me so.

I was recently interviewed on ‘No Place Like Homb’ podcast.

I talk about

• my own postpartum expereince

• reimagining postpartum / postpartum care to meet mothers with the care they have always deserved

• how we can make the transition to motherhood meaningful and beautiful
