Is Inducing Labor at 39 Weeks the Answer?

In this candid episode, I tackle the ins and outs of the ARRIVE trial, a groundbreaking study that explored whether inducing labor at 39 weeks reduces complications for both mom and baby.

I break down the findings, debunk common misconceptions, and discuss why a one-size-fits-all approach to induction is never the best choice for every woman.

Learn about the potential benefits and drawbacks of early induction, why the study's results might be misleading, and what other factors can significantly impact birth outcomes.

If you are a pregnant mama who wants to avoid induction, this episode is for you. Understanding the ARRIVE trial will arm you with the knowledge to confidently advocate for your preference against induction.

It felt right to get vulnerable and talk about a scary experience of mine recently.

I was in a severe boating accident, which led to an overnight hospital stay and a LOT of self-advocacy.

This episode is different than my typical pods, it's raw and it's real AF.

I hope you'll learn some things from hearing my story- and I thank you for giving me a platform to share a big moment in my life.

This run-in with the medical system has me on high-alert, more than ever before.

We MUST ask questions. We MUST push back on the status-quo. We MUST take control of our care, and demand that it be individualized.
