Induction of labour from the baby's perspective

Join us as we delve deeper into induction of labour through the early postnatal lens. We discuss the impact of induction on the baby, and on the mother's lactation, looking at ways to ensure all mothers and infants get off to the best start, despite the labour and birth they may have had. Somehow this episode ends up wandering into the world of Wizard of Oz. We also learn new and, personally I think, much better words for amniotic fluid and the placenta. And we find out about the delights of Rachel's cat. Listen in for great insights and laughs along the way.LINKS:Book:Why Induction Matters https://rachel-reed.website/why-induction-matters/?fbclid=IwAR0DwkC22hj112IslErUeBn1Ymm-DjvPlPD1MyQ_fO6MlRCWOBao3cBdkWEResearch:Lussier 2015Morton 2009Slusher 2008Meier 2016Midwife Thinking Blog:Induction: a step by step guide https://midwifethinking.com/2015/03/18/induction-a-step-by-step-guide/?fbclid=IwAR0RrYgWY5Ew3kptsDRyBnU3GWqzYC9BJDYfXDUVdVVAGeITYAwkMZwuH0s Post-Dates Induction of Labour: balancing risks https://midwifethinking.com/2016/07/13/induction-of-labour-balancing-risks/?fbclid=IwAR00mo74WyMVM3pabgtT9SAjbbXcwDV0zXBcvPhLLvRvN5Q7FYLJ6pM9HLAPatent: apparatus for facilitating the birth of a child by centrifugal force: https://patents.google.com/patent/US3216423A/enHead over to The Latch Revolution Podcast to continue the conversations with Katie James and Johanna Sargeant, IBCLCs Click here if you would like to find out more about Decoding The Suck  and advance your clinical skills in lactation and suck assessment.Support the showResources & SupportGet Katie’s Milk Supply Confidence Kit — a free resource to help pregnant women, new parents and professionals feel calm, informed, and confident about breastfeeding.👉 Download here⭐Leave a ReviewEnjoying the podcast?
