Induction of Labor; Lessons learned from Goldilocks and Other Fables

Since the beginning of recorded obstetrics, caregivers have agonized over the proper and safest way to manage the gravida who requires delivery prior to labor. This dilemma is fraught with many challenges. Modern obstetrics has made significant strides to answer some of these questions, but we are far from achieving the optimal response to these quandaries.

Learning Objectives


At the end of this session, learners should be able to:

  1. Learn evidence-based best practices, while recognizing limitations: that most studies addressing these questions may have general applicability, yet lack specific relevance.
  2. Focus on some indications for labor induction, some non-indications of labor induction, methods of labor induction, and current evidence of the best timing of induction.
