Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates the uterus to contract during labor, making it the most likely choice to be injected to induce labor. Estrogen and progesterone help to prepare the body for pregnancy but are not typically used to induce labor. LH and FSH are hormones involved in regulating the menstrual cycle and the development of eggs in the ovaries, but are not directly involved in labor induction.
