I don’t have such experience. I know only what I have read about it. Labor induction is often medically necessary, so I guess he had reason to make such suggestion, but labor induction is also increasingly performed when there is no medical reason for it, usually for the convenience of either the physician or the parents to be. Drug-induced labor increases the risk for a very rare, but often fatal. Researchers concluded that labor induction doubles a woman's risk for developing the complication, which is a leading cause of delivery-related maternal death.
