ABSTRACT: Labor is induced to stimulate the uterine contraction in effort to have
vaginal birth. Induction may be advocated to reduce fetal or neonatal morbidity
and mortality. Indication of labor needs to be considered when risk and
benefits analysis indicates that delivering the baby is safe option for mother
or both rather than continuing the pregnancy and when there are no clear
indications for caesarean section and no contraindication for vaginal delivery.
