Induction of labor for women having their first baby has risen in Australia from 26% in 2010 to 46% in 2020, according to the latest data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). This compares to a rise from 21% to 34% over roughly the same period in the U.K. (for all births, not just first-time mothers).
More and more women in Australia are having induced labor. Does it matter?
