Inductions: A Different Perspective

In this episode of The POPPED Podcast, Dr. Emily Muery dives into labor induction from a perspective that’s rarely centered — the emotional and lived experience of being induced.This conversation explores:What labor induction can feel like when birth shifts from waiting to plannedWhy induction can bring up grief, pressure, and feelings of failure — even when it’s medically appropriateThe different types of labor induction (cervical ripening, hormonal, mechanical) and why not all inductions feel the sameHow cultural narratives around “natural” birth shape the way moms interpret inductionWhy needing support or intervention does not mean your body failedWhat actually matters most in induced births — beyond the method itselfThis episode is an invitation to hold nuance, process changes with compassion, and remember that induction is not failure — and your birth still belongs to you.#ThePoppedPodcast #BirthEducation #BabyLedBirth #LaborAndDelivery #ChiropracticForPregnancy #PregnancyPodcast #DoulaSupport #BirthWorkerLife #ExpectingMoms #BirthPrep #prenatalchiropractor #induction #pitocin #medicatedbirth #birthplan
