Episode 26 - Due Dates and the Holidays
About the episode:
What do the holidays and your due date have to do with each other? The rate of inductions dramatically increases in the days leading up to a major holiday...and the rate of babies actually born on major holidays dramatically drops. This is due to the fact that some care providers want to manage the course of your labor and control whether or not they are working on a holiday.
The goal is to help you learn more about this topic and feel prepared to advocate for yourself during those final weeks of pregnancy.
In this episode, we discuss:
The importance of learning about due dates
How far along we were when our babies were born
How due dates are calculated
The rate of inductions before major holidays
Focusing on your “due month”
Who can help support you during this time
