#79: Induction of Labor with Dr. Rebecca Dekker of Evidence Based Birth

Induction of labor is an increasingly more and more common birth intervention that many women experience today. There are several medically indicated reasons for induction, as well as many situations where women may be offered or even coerced into induction - where there isn't beneficial evidence to back it up. This week on the podcast Dr. Morgan got to interview Dr. Rebecca Dekker of the well-known blog and podcast called Evidence Based Birth, all about various aspects of labor induction. We discuss the Arrive trial, big babies, risks for postpartum hemorrhage, the evidence on eating and drinking, and more. Enjoy!
