Sometimes people want to try to get labor moving with more natural labor induction techniques before they get to the point of being faced with a medical induction. Due dates are given more weight with some providers than with others. In an attempt to avoid Pitocin, Foley Balloons, Cervidil, Cytotec, or any of the other medical induction techniques, some people opt for teas, herbs, and more.
In this episode of Birth, Baby! Podcast, hosts Ciarra Morgan and Samantha Kelly, along with their returning guest midwife Leonora Colon, delve into the intricacies of labor promoters and the importance of understanding due dates in pregnancy. They discuss the significance of due dates, the protocols midwives follow regarding labor timing, and various natural methods to encourage labor. The conversation emphasizes the need for autonomy in the birthing process and the importance of supportive care, whether at home or in a hospital setting.
