Induction during labor after a cesarean

Induction is not contraindicated in most labors after cesarean, however, the majority of studies show significant risks associated with the use of prostaglandin cervical ripeners in TOLAC. Chemical induction in general has been shown to increase the risk of uterine rupture. When the benefits of induction outweigh the personal risk factors, some may feel comfortable creating an induction plan with their provider.
