Labor induction is artificially stimulating childbirth. ==Medical uses== Commonly accepted medical reasons for induction include: * Postterm pregnancy, i.e. if the pregnancy has gone past the end of the 41st week. * Intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR). * There are health risks to the woman in continuing the pregnancy (e.g. she has pre-eclampsia). * Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM); this is when the membranes have ruptured, but labor does not start within a specific amount of time.〔Allahyar,J. & Galan, H. "Premature Rupture of the Membranes."; also American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists.〕 * Premature termination of the pregnancy (abortion). * Fetal death in utero and previous history of stillbirth. * Twin pregnancy continuing beyond 38 weeks. * Previous health conditions that puts risk on the woman and/or her child such as diabetes, high blood pressure Induction of labor in those who are either at or after term improves outcomes for the baby and decreases the number of C-sections performed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Labor induction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
