Induction of labour from the baby's perspective

Join us as we delve deeper into induction of labour through the
early postnatal lens. We discuss the impact of induction on the
baby, and on the mother's lactation, looking at ways to ensure
all mothers and infants get off to the best start, despite the
labour and birth they may have had. Somehow this episode ends up
wandering into the world of Wizard of Oz. We also learn new and,
personally I think, much better words for amniotic fluid and the
placenta. And we find out about the delights of Rachel's cat.
Listen in for great insights and laughs along the way.
