When it comes to pregnancy we want to know it all but how much research have you done on risk of inductions?

Have you really been told all the risk from induction?

Carmen Edwards Leave a comment

Inductions aren’t as easy and simple as they are made out to be and can cause some serious risk. How much did your provider share with you?

About Carmen Edwards

I am a mother of 6 wonderful children and wife. I spend most of my days doing research on pregnancy, birth and postpartum between working full-time and homeschooling. I loved my pregnancy and birth experiences and seeing the difference each pregnancy can bring to the same person. After the birth of our daughter Faith, I began my journey towards becoming a doula. I was blessed to attend births with a midwife while living in Florida and now that I live in Clarksville I bring that knowledge with me.
