I'm so excited for you to hear Liz's two birth stories, both involving induction of labor. Have a listen to her journeys through pregnancy, where she sought the right support to help her navigate high blood pressure issues.

Liz's births may have both included induction methods, however, they were both unique experiences in their own way. Tune in to hear how Liz navigated doubt and uncertainty the second time around!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Methods of induction
  • Why Liz decided to opt for doula support during both her pregnancies
  • The reasons for Liz's two inductions
  • How Liz used self-advocacy to make decisions that felt best for her and her family
  • Liz's two very different paths through induction
