Send us Fan MailWhat do the holidays and your due date have to do with each other? The rate of inductions dramatically increases in the days leading up to a major holiday...and the rate of babies actually born on major holidays dramatically drops. This is due to the fact that some care providers want to manage the course of your labor and control whether or not they are working on a holiday.The goal is to help you learn more about this topic and feel prepared to advocate for yourself during those final weeks of pregnancy.In this episode, we discuss:The importance of learning about due datesHow far along we were when our babies were bornHow due dates are calculatedThe rate of inductions before major holidaysFocusing on your “due month”Who can help support you during this timeBe sure to listen to our other episodes where we talk about building your birth support team and choosing a care provider:Episode # 3: Building Your Birth Support Team Episode # 14: Choosing a Care Provider for Your BirthThis podcast was created from a desire to share conversations and interviews about topics from pregnancy and birth to motherhood and the importance of a healthy body and mind through it all.  Our goal is to bring you fun, interesting, and helpful conversations that excite you and make you want to learn more.We hope what we share will make an impact and help someone else along their journey.We believe that when you are aligned in body, mind, and your intuition, you can conquer anything!If you like what you are hearing and you don’t want to miss our newest episodes, be sure and tap subscribe.
