I just had my first baby. I had to be induced. Do you cover any of that? I had a very traumatic experience and think I may need counseling. I had been wishing for a natural home birth and had the furthest experience possible.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. The earlier lessons may also be of interest, depending on what reason was given for recommending induction, as I went into the most common complications that lead to medical induction and how to reduce the risks of them from the preconception phase through each of the trimesters in turn. I’ll also be sharing about how circadian and quantum health could fit into the picture of induction in the sections about prom and post dates, ask well as just supporting the flow of labor. And then in healing postpartum I also have a lot to teach about, as it can be challenging enough when things go smoothly but even more difficult when things didn’t go as planned. But I am required to let you know I am not a therapist or doctor and my program definitely should take the place of any needed medical or therapeutic treatments or advice. It’s full of research and information that may help you now in recovery and in any future pregnancies.
This all looks great! Thank you. Which lesson is about induction? I waited until 42 weeks to go for induction, everything was fine but I had a lot of pressure from family and doctors.
The induction was started on 3/11 and baby was born 3/13. I think he was waiting for the blood moon on 3/14 but I couldn’t convince anyone that that was the case.
I’ll be teaching about induction specifically in Lesson 15 coming up in September. Also, I think you may have been right about your baby. My sons have all gone over 42 weeks (same with their father actually). It’s hard to navigate with the medical system on this but it’s really common. I was recently talking with a midwife who is considering giving up her license because she is so frustrated with her inability to legally serve women past 42 weeks, and other situations she believes are normal and common but her regulations forbid her from attending. It’s a whole thing that needs a lot of advocacy and change. Maybe you can be one of the voices to learn about this issue and come up with new ideas for what we as a society could do better for future moms in that situation 🧡
They wanted to induce me at 38 weeks because of my age (41). Do you have any sources to look into about the 42 weeks cutoff? How much bigger do the risks get?
