Augmentation is part of the active management of labor that stimulates uterine contractions after labor has started but is not progressing satisfactorily.Augmentation uses amniotomy and oxytocin infusion,as well as some gentler,noninvasive methods.Forceps-assisted births are less common than in the past and not considered a method of augmentation.A vacuum assist occurs during birth if the mother is too exhausted to push.Vacuum extraction is not considered an augmentation methodology.
