This episode will cover exaclty what to expect from your labor induction. From addmission to the hospital to delivery of the baby, we've covered everything and the order of events so you can undertand the labor induction process.

There are several reasons why your OB/GYN or midwife may suggest induction of labor and several pregnant patients prefer labor induction, electively. Labor induction has been shown to improve maternal and fetal outcomes for the right situations and conditions. Some condditions that may warrant induction of labor include: high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, diabetes in pregnancy, low amniotic fluid, and decreased fetal movement after 40 weeks. Traditionally, it was not suggested that prengancy continue after the 42nd week and gestational age was used as a reason for induction of labor.
