Description

Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 3 episode 12. Today I wanted to chat to you about something that I'm hearing people being told often - that inductions are risk free, or "not very risky". I wanted to break this down into different methods so this episode focuses on the pessary and the risks associated with this form of induction.

*Please note this podcast is not medical advice (also please note there is a lot of swearing in this episode! It is a very frustrating topic and I seemingly didn't hold back)
