Of all the most rapidly increasing concerns in childbirth today, by far the one that concerns me the most is medical induction. Often this is done as a routine precaution for a variety of reasons or because hospital policy deems a woman is ‘over her due date’. Induced labour can be indicated as necessary due to health concerns for the mother or baby, however, inducing (starting) or augmenting (speeding up) a woman’s labour can often lead to other interventions.

It can be so easy to get bogged down with all the well-meaning dos and don’ts that are thrown your way when you find yourself pregnant for the first time. There is an ocean of information that you no doubt find your self-drowning in and a list of products as tall as an Empire State building that you are led to believe you need. I like to simplify some of that for parents by offering my five top tips on how to have a better birth and remind them that all their newborn needs are them.

We prepare ourselves for so many of life’s big transitions. Take your wedding day for example. You seek out advice and information, you research and ask questions, you explore all of your options and most of us diet and exercise cause you want to look a million bucks in that beautiful dress you probably spent too much on. So why do the majority of women in our culture not approach preparing for labour and birth with the same gusto?

So, you have found out you and your wife/partner are having a baby, and in amongst all of the joy and possible shock of discovering you are going to be a parent, you suddenly cast your mind forward to the day of the birth. Hmmmmm.Interestingly for men today, we are only one generation in when it comes to dads being fully present at birth and women having the expectation that their partner/hubby will be their all knowing, amazing labour support person.

Some people have an innate ability all their life to pack lightly –and I’m unashamedly not one of them. So this article is about being totally and utterly prepared for the arrival of a baby, not partially or reasonably prepared, but extraordinarily prepared.

For some women who are about to birth the waiting for their baby to come can be challenging, particularly if you are past your ‘due date’. Remember we have a ‘due month’, so anything from 37 weeks to 42 weeks is the normal time for a baby to come and every baby/mother has a different gestation period. A labour that starts naturally is more likely to end naturally.
