What would you do if your doctor mentioned induction at what felt like a totally routine appointment, and suddenly you were nodding along to something you weren't even sure you agreed to?

In this week's episode, I'm walking you through what's really happening when induction comes up, why it feels so hard to push back in the moment, and the three questions that can completely change the conversation with your provider. 

Whether you're 37 weeks and caught off guard or just want to feel prepared before that moment comes, this episode is for you!

I am so passionate about this topic, and I know it's one that so many mamas need to hear. 

A recommendation is NOT a requirement, and you deserve to feel confident and informed about every decision you make for yourself and your baby. This is an episode I wish every pregnant mom could hear before she walks into that appointment!

Here are some highlights from the episode:

• Why so many moms leave provider appointments confused about what just happened
• The real difference between a recommendation and a requirement
• Why it feels almost impossible to say no in the moment — and why that's not your fault
• The timeline pressure behind induction and what may actually be driving it
• The 3 questions every pregnant mom needs before agreeing to an induction
• What your options really are if you choose to wait
• How to ask for more time without feeling difficult or disrespectful
• What informed consent actually looks like — and what it means to feel truly in control of your birth

You do not have to walk into that appointment unprepared. Tune in, take notes, and remember — being informed is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself and your baby. I can't wait for you to hear this one!
