Positive Induction of Labour Birth Stories

There is so much misinformation about induction of labour – so it’s understandable that you might not know what to expect. It is commonly and wrongly suggested that induction can’t be compatible with hypnobirthing or a really positive birth experience.

That’s why we hope that these induction of labour stories will help to reassure you, should you and your team agree that an inductio is the path you want to take.

It is also why on all of our Happy Parents. Happy Baby antenatal courses we always have a midwife and obstetric (pregnancy and birth) doctor, working alongside our hypnobirthing teachers, who can arm you with information you can trust, so that should you be offered an induction of labour, you can make a really informed decision about what is best for you and your baby. 

 We hope you enjoy these stories.
