Episode notes
In this episode of The Push Podcast, Nurse Sydney and Dr. Meghan continue their deep dive into inductions of labor — this time focusing on what happens after cervical ripening. They break down how Pitocin (artificial oxytocin) is used to stimulate contractions, what to expect when your provider suggests artificial rupture of membranes (AROM), and how these methods work together to help labor progress. Tune in to learn the risks, benefits, and what it actually feels like when your water is broken during an induction.
