We’ll also have some comfort measures pocket guides available for those of you who’ve been wanting one of those and haven’t been able to get one.

And the third section covers all of the evidence on the different natural methods that can be used to induce labor.Īnd then it concludes with tips and tricks for navigating a labor induction and includes a password-protected page that has all of the scientific references. The second section covers all of the evidence on the different methods that are used in hospitals to induce labor. The first section covers the evidence on the different reasons people are offered labor induction by their provider.

But it’s one that’s done without the use of medications or pharmaceuticals, and that method is called membrane sweeping or membrane stripping. We’ve wrapped up that series, and today, I’m going to move on to a more medical method of induction. So if you’ve been listening to the podcast this year, we’ve been publishing one episode per month about the evidence on different natural induction methods. On today’s episode, I’m so excited to share with you the updated research evidence on the pros and cons of membrane sweeping. As a reminder, this information is not medical advice.
