labor augmentation

What are the Methods of Labor Augmentation?

There are several methods used to augment labor:
1. _Oxytocin_ Administration: Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions. It is commonly administered intravenously to strengthen and regulate contractions.
2. _Amniotomy_: This procedure involves the artificial rupture of the amniotic sac, which can increase the production of natural prostaglandins and enhance contractions.
3. _Nipple Stimulation_: This can also increase oxytocin levels and stimulate contractions.
