Induction of Labor by Breast Stimulation

A. JHIRAD, MD and T. VAGO, MD

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynccology of the Barzilai Medical Centre, Ashkclon, Israel

Abstract

Stimulation of the breast was used to induce labor in 204 patients. The success rate was 69.6%. This method is recommended when oxytocin is considered undestrous, especially in grandmulliparae. No complications were observed. An additional advantage was the absence of breast engorgement during the postpartum period.
