Induction is a term used to describe the stimulation of labor by artificial means. It is only used in situations when your doctor feels that induction is necessary. If it is necessary to induce labor your doctor will decide on the most effective and safe procedure for your situation. Methods used to induce labor include a combination of amniotomy, nipple stimulation, administration of a synthetic oxytocin such as Pitocin or a prostaglandin gel.
