Induction of labor involves various methods to stimulate contractions and initiate childbirth. Here are some common types:
1. Prostaglandins: These are medications applied to the cervix to help it soften and dilate.
2. Balloon Catheter: A small balloon is inserted into the cervix and inflated to help it open.
3. Artificial Rupture of Membranes (Amniotomy): This involves breaking the water (amniotic sac) to stimulate labor.
4. Oxytocin: This hormone is administered through an IV to induce contractions.
Each method may be used alone or in combination, depending on the specific circumstances and the healthcare provider’s recommendation.
