Some info on induction via Sara Wickham :)

We see more comments, queries and concerns about induction of labour than about any other single pregnancy and birth-related topic.

It's too hard to put everything that women and their families need to know in one post (which is why I have written two books about this!)

But here are some of the key facts.

Induction of labour is absolutely the right decision for some women, and absolutely not the right decision for others.

Some women are delighted that they had their labour induced, and some women regret this decision for decades.

It is for those reasons that we encourage anybody who might be affected by this to get lots of information about induction of labour or any other birth intervention before making a decision.

The mass media is not a good source of information about birth. Newspapers spin stories to make headlines and often fail to discuss the nuances and complexities of the issues.

Like many of my colleagues, my primary concern is that people who need to make such decisions can get good information from a credible source and make the decision that is right for them.

That’s why I’ve written two books about this. They have both helped tens of thousands of women and families make the decisions that are right for them.

I also have more than twenty articles and blog posts to help you understand the issues a bit better.

I hope it helps.

Interesting study interviewing midwives working with vocalisations in labour "Vocalisations are an integral part of labour and birth. The findings highlight that understanding and interpreting these sounds can serve as a meaningful component for supporting well-being, physiology as well as recognising physiological processes and deviations from these during childbirth." Interested to know how y'all (women and caregivers) work with vocalisations in labour? Full text here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666142X26000706

The remodelling of the brain during pregnancy!

Pregnancy remodels the brain, and (interestingly!) a second pregnancy seems to impact different regions. A first pregnancy affects areas such as the default mode network, involved in empathy and theory of mind, while a second pregnancy appears to shift more toward attention networks and motor systems.

Female biology truly is so very fascinating. (Thirty-five years into this work, and I’ve never lost my curiosity or sense of awe about how it all works.)
