Induction of labor: A few key questions...Were you previously hypertensive outside of pregnancy?  How is the baby's growth doing?  Has the baby had a nonstress test done?   How much protein are you spilling in your urine? All of these are important questions to determine if you need inducing in  late preterm gestation (36 weeks to 38 weeks and 6 days).
