Scheduled Inductions of Labor

Induce Labor
  • Inductions are scheduled on weekdays for medical indications.
  • Please confirm your designated time with the office staff.
  • Inductions are rarely postponed due to a large number of patients in active labor.  This is necessary to allow the appropriate nursing coverage in labor and delivery.  If you are driving from a distance, please call labor and delivery to check on availability prior to your departure.  Arriving and waiting in the waiting room for hours is very uncomfortable and unnecessary. Our charge nurse will actively work with you to make your room available ASAP.
  • If you are being induced in the morning, it is unusual for you to deliver prior to lunch.  It is often best for extended family and less stressful on you and your partner to have them wait in the comfort of their own home until closer to delivery.
  • A light breakfast is recommended as our digestive system is not as efficient during labor.  Limit breakfast to toast and clear juice.
  • Please be sure to let us know of any questions that you have in the office prior to your induction.
