Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Got your way: So dr is ok w/induction, now what? In long run, will not harm baby, if that is who you are referring to. Labor pain often somewhat more pronounced w/induction due to medication expedited process. Epidural addresses this quite effectively and has no significant impact on baby.
