Self-Induction Labor: There is an old saying about doctors who treat themselves: "A doctor who treats themself has a fool for a patient." It is no less appropriate for patients. Induction is an intensive medical process that requires specialized medical & nursing care that has significant risks for mother & baby! Also excess edema can be a sign of preeclampsia. Call your ob doctor right away.
