Brittany was two weeks past her due date. The doctor decided it was best to _____ labor because the fetus was growing too large.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The doctor decided to induce labor, which means to artificially start or hasten labor, because the fetus was growing too large and it would be safer for both the mother and baby to deliver sooner rather than later. Postponing labor would further increase the risk of complications. Skipping over or decreasing labor are not medically viable options.
