Your Induction Checklist
Induction is an offer, not an instruction. This two-page checklist helps you ask the right questions, pack for a stay (not a sprint) and keep your birth feeling positive and yours.
What's inside
Everything you need, on two pages
Before the day
Six things to know before anyone books you in, including your right to say "not yet".
BRAIN
Five simple questions for any decision your midwife or doctor puts to you.
Your packing list
What to bring when an induction takes hours, or days, not minutes.
On the day
How to protect your hormones and the one question to ask before every new step.
"Around one in three labours in the UK now starts with an induction. Whatever you choose, you deserve to choose it knowing your options."
Why I made this
Hi, I'm Clare
I founded LushTums in Brighton in 2007. As a senior yoga teacher, doula and FEDANT-accredited antenatal educator, I've spent 20 years supporting families through pregnancy and birth.
So many women I work with are offered an induction in passing and feel they can't say no. This checklist is what I wish every one of them had on their fridge.
