-
Increased risk of cesarean delivery: Induced labor may increase the likelihood of a cesarean delivery, particularly if the cervix is not fully dilated or if there are complications during labor.
-
Longer labor: Induced labor may take longer than spontaneous labor, which can be more exhausting for the mother and may increase the risk of complications.
-
Increased pain: Induced contractions may be more intense and painful than natural contractions, which can make the labor experience more challenging for the mother.
-
Fetal distress: Induced labor may increase the risk of fetal distress, which can occur if the baby is not tolerating the induced contractions or if there are other complications.
-
Premature birth: Induced labor may increase the risk of premature birth if the baby is not fully developed or if the induction is performed before the due date.
