A member asked:

I'm getting an induction at 38 weeks pregnant... i'm so scared something will go wrong.. how safe are inductions at this stage in pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very safe: In general they are very safe as most hospitals now only do low dose pitocin (oxytocin) protocols and most OB nurses trained to recognize fetal heart rate patterns of concern.
