Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 3 episode 13. 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 balloon catheter and the risks associated with this form of induction.
