THE SEVENOAKS MIDWIFE - INDEPENDENT MIDWIFE

More and more expectant parents find themselves having to decide whether to let their body and baby go into labour naturally, or agree to medical intervention. We know that this is something that can cause concern and confusion during pregnancy.

In this workshop we explain in detail why an induction of labour (IOL) may be offered, we discuss the full process and share information from research studies to help you become more informed and make the decision that is right for you and your baby.

We explore the pros and cons of waiting, and of being induced. And if the decision is to accept an induction of labour, this workshop will guide you on how to make your induction of labour a positive birth experience. The workshop will cover:

*Reasons an Induction of labour may be offered

*Decision Making

*Reaching your due Time - What are the options?

*The Induction Process - What happens? How it it done?

*Coping strategies & pain relief options

*How to have a positive birth experience
