Are you 38 weeks pregnant and your provider has brought up the idea of an induction? If yes, then this blog is for you. Many other mothers may be having the same questions and conversations with their providers. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) reports that 20 to 40 percent of pregnancies are induced. This blog will provide you with some insight into what an induction is, why providers may recommend them and what induction options mothers have if they choose to go that route.
