🟣 BLOG POST
Induction of labour is increasingly common, yet women often seem to be very misinformed about what it involves, or what was done to them during induction and why. I have several posts about induction of labour on my blog. This one covers the induction process.

What are the best questions to ask if you're offered induction of labour?

As someone who has researched and written about induction of labour for more than two decades, I get asked that quite a bit.

Especially as I have a fundamental belief that there is no one 'right' path for everyone.

Twenty years before anyone hashtagged , I was promoting that very idea to women and families.

One size doesn't fit all.

You need to decide what's right for you.

And in order to do that, you might need to ask some questions.

So I have put together this guide to the five best questions that you can ask in order to get more information and make the decisions that are right for you.

I'm also going to tell you what can you learn from the answers you are given.

You can find my blog post at https://www.sarawickham.com/articles-2/five-questions-to-ask-if-youre-offered-induction-of-labour/

I hope you'll find it useful.

Car seats are designed to keep babies safe while travelling, but they’re not designed to be a main sleeping place. They’re not suitable for sleeping in for long periods so use them for transport only, not to replace cots, moses baskets or cribs.

It’s okay for your baby to fall asleep in a car seat when travelling but take them out as soon as you get to your destination and place them onto a firm, flat surface to sleep.

Soon, our monthly Birth Information Update will be flying off into thousands of inboxes, albeit by email rather than sleigh.

The Birth Information Update is a colourful, free, monthly newsletter email.

It is packed with links to the most interesting and useful birth-related research and thinking that I’ve spotted over the past month.

I also add a bit of chat, links to my best blog posts and details of the most interesting study that has crossed my desk.

Our newsletter folks are always first to hear about any books or projects that I’m involved with. That's because some sell out quickly, so we want to prioritise friends.

If you’re not on our mailing list but would like to be, just pop to https://www.sarawickham.com/announcements/would-you-like-me-to-email-you-a-relevant-reliable-regular-update/

Or type your email address into the blue box on my website.

And if you’re already on the list, look out for us in your inbox later this week! We'll be there, every month.
