In today's episode I welcomed Kemi Johnson back on to talk about and answer some of your questions on induction. I just want to add a warning that this episode is quite hard hitting in terms of some of the things discussed so please skip if you don't feel ready to listen yet. Also adding a trigger warning as we do also discuss stillbirth.
