Medical Induction 101 - $40.00
All of my pregnancies ended in medical inductions for one reason or another. With my first I never knew what to expect. I was basically told to show up on a certain day, at a certain time and that was all I knew.
​
This video class will lay out for you the following:
-
Why medical inductions are done.

What procedures are involved in medical inductions
-
Plus tips and tricks to managed an induced labour
​​
After watching this video class, you will have the knowledge to make the best decisions for you and your baby. You will also be able to ask your doctor questions that will help you decide if a medical induction is right for you.

Testimonials
I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the incredibly useful resources and information you provided in the prenatal and infant care classes. I felt incredibly prepared for labour and delivery. Your class helped me to feel able to respond to challenges and make tough decisions when needed.
​
Now that the babies are here, I have lost count of the number of times we have said "remember what doula Kim said..." as we've faced new challenges and figured out this new life with babies.
​
I hadn't realized how much we learned in advance, which really helped us feel informed and prepared for the first month with the twins.

Kimberley is amazing! If it wasnt for COVID, would have loved to have had her with us during delivery! So knowledgeable and relaxed while delivering the information. Always available to answer questions afterwards. So very much appreciated from a FTM. Thank you!

Kimberley was phenomenal! I felt infinitely more comfortable, prepared, ready and excited after completing this class. This was of course in part due to the content and information but also largely based on Kimberley's approach and demeanor. Massive thanks to Kimberley for being a part of our journey!
