This episode of Tea & Toast: Talking Birth looks at one of the most common interventions in modern maternity care - induction of labour. We consider how and why labour might be induced and consider the experiences of Leanne, who had her first labour induced, and Sarah, a third year student midwife, and how she has found offering and undertaking inductions.
