Summary

Induction of labor, is one of the most common obstetric procedures done routinely in modern obstetrics. For example, in USA, 23% of pregnant women in 2012 (about 1 million) underwent an induction of labor. However, accurate data about percentage of women undergoing induction of labor in Egypt is not accurately known.

One of the recent research era in current obstetrics is the optimal intravenous (IV) hydration of the pregnant women in labor.Current evidences available in our hands, suggest that maternal hydration appears to fasten labor progress and enhance the action of oxytocin, if the later is used for augmentation. However, the addition of glucose supplementation to this IV hydration to enhance uterine contraction, as a matter of safety and efficacy, is controversial
