In this episode, I'm walking you through everything you need to know about preparing for an induction—from practical tips to spiritual encouragement—so you can approach your birth with peace and confidence, even if this wasn't your original plan.

Maybe your provider has mentioned induction as a possibility, or perhaps you already have a date scheduled. Whatever emotions you're feeling—excitement, disappointment, nervousness, or fear—I want you to know that an induced birth is still a beautiful birth story where God can be glorified.

In this episode, I share: 

🌸 How to reframe an induction as part of God's plan for your birth story 

🩺 Understanding different induction methods and what to expect with each one 

🎶 Comfort measures and coping strategies specifically for induced labor 

🧠 The B.R.A.I.N. acronym to help you make informed decisions about your care 

✝️ Practical tips for preparing physically, mentally, and spiritually for your induction

Scripture Shared: 

"The Lord will fight for you. You only need to be still." – Exodus 14:14

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him." – Romans 8:28
