AB  - Induction  of  labor  is  the  artificial  initiation  of  labor  before  its  spontaneous  onset.  It  should  be  considered  when  the  benefits  of  earlier  delivery  outweigh  the  potential  risks  to  the  mother  and  baby  associated  with  induction  of  labor  and  prolongation  of  pregnancy.  A  careful  and  well-documented  discussion  should  be  made  between  the  health  care  provider  and  the  patient  and  should  include  the  reason  for  induction,  method  of  induction,  and  risks  associated  with  induction  of  labor.  Some  of  the  common  indications  for  induction  of  labor  are  discussed  below.
