Induction of labor is recommended under several circumstances, including:
Post-term pregnancy (pregnancy that has extended beyond 41-42 weeks) Premature rupture of membranes (when the amniotic sac breaks before labor starts) Maternal health conditions such as preeclampsia, diabetes, or chronic hypertension Fetal growth restriction or oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid) Intrauterine fetal demise or other obstetric complications
