    Macrosomia.txt

  • use · D2 - S1

    Labor induction is the use of medications or other methods to bring on (induce) labor.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • recommend · D2 - S3

    Labor induction may be recommended if the health of the mother or fetus is at risk.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • need · D2 - S4

    Sometimes labor induction may be needed even if it means that the fetus will be born early.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • mean · D2 - S4

    Sometimes labor induction may be needed even if it means that the fetus will be born early.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • be born · D2 - S4

    Sometimes labor induction may be needed even if it means that the fetus will be born early.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • reduce · D2 - S10

    In Macrosomic babies, induction of labor before term has been shown to reduce SHOULDER DYSTOCIA, which is when the baby's shoulder becomes stuck during vaginal delivery.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • show · D2 - S10

    In Macrosomic babies, induction of labor before term has been shown to reduce SHOULDER DYSTOCIA, which is when the baby's shoulder becomes stuck during vaginal delivery.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • become stuck · D2 - S10

    In Macrosomic babies, induction of labor before term has been shown to reduce SHOULDER DYSTOCIA, which is when the baby's shoulder becomes stuck during vaginal delivery.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • send · D2 - S13

    Even though there is the benefit of reduction in shoulder dystocia with induction of labor, there is no proven benefit of reduction to the rate of BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURY, which is damage to the network of nerves that send signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm and hand of the baby.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • mean · D2 - S17

    Suspected large babies may tun out to be smaller than expected at delivery, which means parents might be worried unnecessarily and might undergo induction of labor without any benefit.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • tun out · D2 - S17

    Suspected large babies may tun out to be smaller than expected at delivery, which means parents might be worried unnecessarily and might undergo induction of labor without any benefit.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • expect · D2 - S17

    Suspected large babies may tun out to be smaller than expected at delivery, which means parents might be worried unnecessarily and might undergo induction of labor without any benefit.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • worry · D2 - S17

    Suspected large babies may tun out to be smaller than expected at delivery, which means parents might be worried unnecessarily and might undergo induction of labor without any benefit.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • undergo · D2 - S17

    Suspected large babies may tun out to be smaller than expected at delivery, which means parents might be worried unnecessarily and might undergo induction of labor without any benefit.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • take · D2 - S18

    Induction of labor often takes longer than spontaneous labor at term.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • increase · D2 - S19

    It might increase the risk of INSTRUMENTED DELIVERY (vaginal birth assisted by vacuum or forceps) and CESAREAN DELIVERY.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • assist · D2 - S19

    It might increase the risk of INSTRUMENTED DELIVERY (vaginal birth assisted by vacuum or forceps) and CESAREAN DELIVERY.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • reduce · D2 - S43

    The purpose of labor induction at or shortly before term (37 to 40 weeks) in case of suspected fetal macrosomia is to reduce the likelihood of a difficult birth, possibly resulting in maternal or perinatal morbidity.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • bring on · D2 - S47

    Labor induction is the use of medications or other methods to bring on (induce) labor.

    Macrosomia.txt

  • use · D2 - S47

    Macrosomia.txt

  • include · D2 - S77

    Other risks of labor induction may include:

  • help · D2 - S82

    To help prevent these complications, the fetal heart rate and force of contractions may be electronically monitored during labor induction.
