If a pregnancy has reached 42 weeks or your health or your baby is at risk, your doctor or midwife may determine it's time to start labour contractions using medications or other methods. Contractions can be started by inserting a tablet (pessary) or gel into the vagina. Induction of labour may take a while, particularly if the cervix (the neck of the uterus) needs to be softened with pessaries or gels
