  1. induction of labor

    Induction of labor is a medical procedure that stimulates uterine contractions to initiate childbirth before labor begins on its own. This is often performed when a pregnancy has gone past the due date, when there is a medical concern for the mother or baby, or if the water breaks and labor does not naturally begin. Methods used for labor induction can include medication, breaking the amniotic sac, or using techniques to ripen or open the cervix.
