If the induction is not successful, a cesarean section is likely. Induced labors are often much more painful than naturally occurring labors. Induced labors are often more stressful for the baby. This means that a woman who is being induced will be required to be continuously on the electronic fetal monitor. Her mobility will be restricted, adding to the pain and difficulty of labor.
Fetal distress is more likely to occur with the more intense contractions of an induced labor.
In this case, a cesarean section would be necessary. Premature birth is possible if the woman's due date has not been correctly estimated. Avoid telling your caregiver how tired of pregnancy you are. When doctors or midwives believe that a woman is really suffering because of being pregnant, they may feel that they are doing her a favor by inducing labor. Consider taking evening primrose oil during the last month of pregnancy.
