The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
have recently published Clinical
Guidelines for induction
of labour.
National rates are at around 20%, with over two thirds

or social reasons.
We would like to highlight some of the most important

of pregnancy dating protocols
2. Methods used - current and new
3. Complications - viz. uterine hyperstimulation
4. Key Points
