    S4 EP8: The risks of synthetic oxytocin inductions

    Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... podcast, season 4 episode 8. Today I'm finishing off a mini series I started last season - busting the myth that inductions are risk free or "not very risky". I wanted to break this down into different methods so this episode focuses on synthetic oxytocin inductions AKA "the drip" and the risks associated. *FREE HYPNOBIRTHING MASTERCLASS!:* ⁠⁠https://www.thedungareedoula.co.uk/free-masterclass⁠⁠ *Please note this podcast is not medical advice and not meant to influence your decision making process, it is merely to present you with more information to help you make informed decisions that feel right for you* Links mentioned in this episode: Patient information leaflet: click here Click here to find out more about my digital hypnobirthing courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thedungareedoula.co.uk/onlinecourse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Use code 'PODCAST' for 20% off my digital courses!

    S4 EP6: Is your birth prep causing you MORE fear?

    Welcome to The Doula's Guide To Preparing For Your Birth Podcast, season 4 episode 6!

I also chat a little about how this effected me in my recent pregnancy. *FREE HYPNOBIRTHING MASTERCLASS!:* ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thedungareedoula.co.uk/free-masterclass⁠⁠⁠⁠ *Please note this podcast is not medical advice and not meant to influence your decision making process, it is merely to present you with more information to help you make informed decisions that feel right for you* Links mentioned in this episode: Click here to find out more about my digital hypnobirthing courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thedungareedoula.co.uk/onlinecourse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Use code 'PODCAST' for 20% off my digital courses!
