Inducing labour
Most women and birthing people go into labour naturally between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy. But in some cases, your midwife or doctor may offer to help start labour artificially. This is called induction of labour.
What happens during induction of labour?
There are different ways to induce labour (start labour artificially). Your doctor or midwife should explain your options and ask for consent at every stage.
