A member asked:
How long does the doctor wait to induce labor after due date? 41 or 42weeks? how do doctors induce labor? how is it done
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most doctors will induce at 42 weeks, but some might induce earlier. There are a number of methods used for inducing labor, ranging from stripping cervical membranes to breaking the water to using a combination of medications to soften the cervix and stimulate uterine contractions.
