About this episode

*Hi guys! Liesel here. I wanted to let you know that the Mommy Labor Nurse podcast as you know it is currently getting a HUGE facelift!

In the meantime, please enjoy this re-air of a fan favorite episode!! And stay tuned to my instagram for updates on when the new and improved Mommy Labor Nurse podcast will be back with all new episodes!*

******

Labor induction – this is a topic that comes up a LOT in my DMs over on Instagram and in the MLN community in general!

So, today on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast I'm doing a Q&A-style episode all about planned inductions. Your most burning labor induction FAQs, answered!

I see it all the time, women are nearing the end of their pregnancy, and not planning on an induction, and then all of a sudden, they need one!

When this happens, there's not always a ton of time to research, prepare and sort through all the info that's out there. So, I thought I'd put together this episode with some of the most common questions I get about inductions. Let's go!
