Induction of labour is at an all time-high, many for no valid medical reason. Before you consent to being induced make sure you fully understand both the risks and benefits.

If it’s not a medical emergency you have time to consider all your options, so go away and do your own research. I highly recommend getting yourself a copy Dr Sara Wickham’s book ‘In Your Own Time’.

Undoubtedly, there are risks associated with inductions; please don’t let anyone tell you that there aren’t.
