Background: Over recent decades, more pregnant women around the world have undergone labor induction to deliver their babies. In developing countries up to 25% of all deliveries at term now involve induction of labor, but in some developing countries the rate are generally lower. Induction is indicated when the benefits to either the mother or the fetus outweigh those of continuing the pregnancy.
