    E39: Induction - What Your Provider Isn't Telling You with Gwen & Margo

    Induction rates have skyrocketed in recent years, with 30-32% of births now being induced and over 40% of women reporting their providers attempted induction. We break down what labor induction actually involves, from cervical ripening techniques to the pitocin-epidural cycle that often follows. We explore when induction is truly medically necessary versus when it's recommended for questionable reasons like being "past due" or having a "big baby." Learn how to navigate induction decisions and understand the evidence behind common induction practices.
