According to research, the induction of labor one or two weeks prior to the due date decreases the likelihood of requiring a cesarean delivery. Furthermore, it is advantageous for the well-being of both the mother and the infant. In the event that induction of labor has been recommended for a particular reason, but the patient declines, they may elect to await the onset of spontaneous labor or opt for cesarean delivery. It is recommended that you consult with your health care provider at the earliest opportunity to learn about the available options.
