Does induced labor harms the baby?

Question

Answer

That’s a tough question to answer with a yes or no.  Labor in general is hard on the baby and you.  Induced labor can be more intense causing issues to arise. I’ve been induced once and gone into labor naturally.  My induced labor I was on the meds the whole time - it wasn’t enough to just kickstart labor for me.  Near the end, it was getting hard to baby - the heart rate was falling with each contraction. However, that can happen with a natural labor too.  Does induced labor in and of itself harm the baby? No. But complications can arise, as they can with a natural labor.

Answer

If you are asking in a poll I’d encourage you to talk to your doctor or watch some baby birthing educational classes on YouTube. Birthing a baby is like fording a river, you make plans on how to get across the river but during the process things can come up you’ve never expected or planned for and you and your doctors or birth care team will re evaluate and make the best decisions they can in the moment to move forward. Once you get to the other side and baby is in your arms is the main goal. What it takes to get there might be different than you had wanted. It’ll be ok! Hang in there.

Answer

can it? yes. does it always? no. my child had to be induced due to a growth restriction and all was fine until pitocin was introduced. my second day of labor they gave me pitocin and my daughters heart basically stopped. they were able to stop my contractions and i had a c section and she’s fine, just make sure you’re paying attention to your body

Answer

If you mean being induced medically then.... I think it's more harm on you then the baby... If it doesn't suit your body it can make the baby tired and distressed....
In theory your forcing a natural process so your body will react in different ways, some in a good way and some bad but natural labour and also a C section can cause issues/ distress/ harm so...
Iv been induced and for me luckily it worked.... It was fast and extremely painful but me and my son coped with the process.

Answer

It can pose a risk to baby in regards to delivery by adding stress but asking as its approved by a medical professional and your being monitored it should generally be okay. If your talking about home remedy induced labors then again it depends on the method your using and how far along in the pregnancy you are to determine the risk but all results vary so it's hard to give an accurate answer. But in general unless you need to I wouldn't get induced.
