Study Notes

Induction of Labor

Induction of labor is indicated when continuing the pregnancy poses risks to the mother, fetus, or both - risks that could be mitigated by delivery.
Induction is often used for conditions such as post-term pregnancy, preterm rupture of membranes, hypertensive disorders, diabetes, fetal growth restriction, twins, chorioamnionitis, placental abruption, oligohydramnios, cholestasis, alloimmunization with fetal anemia, and fetal demise.
The Bishop score is a common clinical tool in the United States to predict the success of labor induction.
It assesses the cervical dilation, effacement, consistency, position, and station of the presenting part.
Higher Bishop scores (6 or above) generally indicate a higher chance of vaginal birth and a lower chance of a cesarean birth.
