When your pregnancy ends, you begin to experience your labor pain and eventually move towards childbirth. It is certainly painful, but a wonderful experience to give birth to a child and hear its first cry.

So, during that emergency period, it is always recommendable to speed up the process of labor and childbirth, either naturally or artificially with the help of medicines or necessary treatment procedures to save the life of the child and to keep the mother healthy so that she can have a safe and healthy childbirth. This process of controlling labor and childbirth for emergencies in pregnancy is known as ‘Labor Induction’ according to medical terms.
