What is a medically necessary induction?

Inducing labor (also called labor induction) is when your provider gives you medicine or breaks your water to make labor start. Your provider may recommend inducing labor if your health or your baby’s health is at risk or if you’re 2 weeks or more past your due date. Inducing labor should only be for medical reasons.

Can a medical induction fail?
