AB  - Induction  of  labor  (IOL)  is  the  process  of  artificially  stimulating  the  uterus  to  start  labor.  IOL  should  be  considered  only  in  cases  where  there  is  a  clear  medical  indication  and  the  expected  benefits  of  an  earlier  delivery  outweigh  the  potential  harms.  A  careful  and  well-documented  discussion  should  occur  between  the  health  care  provider  and  the  patient  and  should  include  the  reason  for  induction,  method  of  induction,  and  risks  associated  with  IOL.  Depending  on  the  indication  for  induction,  IOL  has  been  associated  with  higher  rates  of  complications  such  as  bleeding,  operative  vaginal  deliveries,  cesarean  deliveries,  uterine  hyperstimulation,  and  adverse  perinatal  outcomes.
