When is Labor Induced?

Inducing labor refers to the medical initiation of the birthing process before it begins naturally. The reasons for inducing labor can vary, but common indications include prolonged pregnancy (past 41-42 weeks), [gestational diabetes]( ), [preeclampsia]( ), and concerns for the health of the mother or baby. Induction is usually considered when the benefits of delivering the baby outweigh the risks of continuing the pregnancy.
