What exactly is done when being induced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stimulate delivery: Inducing labor is usually done with medications that stimulate the deliver process. The most common medications used for this are protaglandin or oxytocin. This is done in the hospital setting by a trained OB physician. It can be often done as a scheduled delivery and can be performed safely in the right setting. For more information discuss your specific risks benefits with your doctor.
