Why is induction necessaryThere are several reasons to induce labor. If the baby is not growing well and would be better off outside the mother than in, then we will induce. Another common reason for inducing labor is when the pregnancy goes past the due date. Some physicians will induce the labor at 41 weeks, and others will wait until 42 weeks.How long does it take to induce laborFor the woman whose cervix is not yet ready to go into natural labor, these medications are usually given over a 12-hour period. If, however, a woman's body was getting ready to go into labor anyway, sometimes it's quite easy to get her into labor, and it doesn't take long at all.Risks of inductionPrimarily, there are two risks. One is that there's a chance that the labor will not end in a vaginal delivery, but will end up having to be a cesarean section. And the other risk in using some of these medications, and the reason that it needs to be closely monitored, is that sometimes the contractions can become too strong, and can cause problems for the baby or the mother.
