S2E9 - The History of Induction and Is Women Being Older and Larger Really the Problem?

In this Episode Kemi and Shellie discuss the history of induction and we explore the current obstetric narrative that women are getting older, fatter and more complex and this is why outcomes are getting worse. But is is really the reason?The truth about induction may shock you! We dive deep into the world of labor induction and the myths surrounding it. Many expectant parents are pushed toward induction as if it’s the only option, but that’s not always the case. We explore how the narrative often painted by medical professionals can lead to fear-driven decisions. Are you aware that induction rates are skyrocketing, yet the actual benefits are questionable? Let’s break down the statistics: - Stillbirth rates have decreased by 11%, but neonatal mortality has increased by 7%. - Maternal mortality has shot up by 44%! - The figures in the UK do not reflect the figures in other Western CountriesThese numbers reveal a troubling trend in maternity care. It’s essential to understand your options and assert your power in the birthing process. You are in control! Know your rights and the truth behind the interventions.
