Made to Mom Episode #11: Techniques for Cervical Ripening& Labour Induction

Podcast Links

Summary & Episode Takeaways

In this episode I’m talking about cervical ripening and labour induction.  

  1. Cervical ripening and labour induction are different steps. Most of us don’t realize that the cervix needs to be ready for induction to work effectively.

  2. The Bishop score shapes a person’s induction experience. A higher score (hopefully) means a smoother, more efficient process.

  3. “Natural” methods can support labour, but they aren’t guaranteed or risk-free. They should be used thoughtfully and with guidance from professionals.
