Positive Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood by Pop That Mumma founder of Birth Box and Oxytocin Bubble

One in three women are now being induced. And most of them are going into it without the full picture.

In this episode, I'm joined by doula and childbirth educator, Carly Sandland, to talk about one of the most important conversations in modern maternity care.

Why the due date isn't actually evidence-based and where it came from
The difference between absolute and relative risk
How to make sure induction is the right path for you
The importance of knowing your options and the alternatives to induction
Why asking for your 'bishop score' matters
How to make an induction a positive, empowering experience
Ways to keep the oxytocin flowing throughout the process

In this incredible episode, Taylor shares the emotional rollercoaster of discovering she was carrying quadruplets, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, spending weeks in hospital, and delivering four babies in just three minutes via caesarean.

From fear and uncertainty to overwhelming joy, this story is a powerful reminder of just how unpredictable birth can be.

A big thank you to Take Five Aromatherapy for making this episode possible!
