Welcome, I'm glad you're here!
Hi, I'm Jade! I'm so glad you've found your way to the Positive Induction site, because it means I can start to help you avoid that awful feeling I remember so well as I approached my own induction.
I remember searching everywhere for positive stories, trying to find tips and suggestions and some glimmer of hope that even thought this really wasn't going to be the birth I had visualised and planned, it could still be a positive experience. I felt so lost in the week before my induction, unsure of whether I was making the right decision and there wasn't really anywhere I could ask all the questions I had. It was such a stressful time.
But I did go on to have a really positive experience, adapting lots of the tools I had learnt and ideas I wanted to incorporateĀ in my original birth plan to fit with my new plan. I felt so empowered and strong following my birth and it really inspired me to be an antenatal teacher. I realised the importance of planning for a positive experience, learning tools and techniques and understanding how important it is to learn ways to help your body during induction.
So if you're feeling stressed and unsure and you've heard more than your fair share of negative stories, you're in the right place to start preparing for a more positive experience.
It is my mission to help women avoid the stress I felt approaching my induction and I would love to help you turn up to that appointment feeling excited and confident and ready to meet your baby!
