Say it with me, ladies, inducing for a big baby is not evidence-based.

Let that just land for a minute because I know that flies in the face of everything you've heard doctors say to you, especially if you've ever been told that you might have a, quote, unquote, "big baby," and that is what today's episode is all about.
